Adverse event reporting attitude and its individual and organizational predictors among nursing staff: A multisite study in Chinese nursing homes

This study explored the status of adverse event reporting attitudes and its predictors among nursing staff in Chinese nursing homes. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 475 nursing staff, and they completed sociodemographic and facility-related questionnaire, Incident Reporting Attitude Scale, Adverse Event Reporting Awareness Scale, and Nursing Home Survey on Patient Safety Culture. Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression models were performed. The mean score for adverse event reporting attitude was 125.87 (SD=15.35). The predictors included individual variables, such as education level (β=0.129, p = 0.001) and working years (β=-0.102, p = 0.007), and organizational variables, such as patient safety culture (β=0.503, p < 0.001) and adverse event reporting awareness (β=0.261, p < 0.001). These factors explained 35.3 % of total variance. Managers in nursing homes should strengthen team-targeted education and training for nursing staff with longer working years and lower educational backgrounds. Meanwhile, a simplified and non-punitive reporting system should be established to create positive safety management climate.

Modeling the Capabilities of High-Performing Project Management Offices in General Contracting Companies

The contemporary literature emphasizes a need to delve into how project management offices (PMOs) can be effectively operated in construction organizations by embedding integrated project management rather than relying on stand-alone project controls. However, capabilities for running high-performing PMOs in this complex industry are still unknown to this growing body of knowledge, which is considered a barrier to the realization of their full potential. To address this gap, the current research explores a factor structure for core capabilities using a cross-validation method with survey data from 395 experts in general contracting organizations. The results revealed that the five-factor measurement model encompasses constructs of competent human resources and supportive culture, strategic alignment, delivery support, knowledge management, and leveraging organizational capabilities. This study extends the current literature by establishing a new measurement model explaining the dimensionality of PMO capabilities.
