This study holds various implications and usefulness toward nurses as well as hospitals in that the study empirically found out the relations among hospitals' ethical climates, employee engagement (job engagement and organizational engagement) and intention to quit. The study shows that nurses' awareness of principles of responsibilities and benevolent ethical climates impact on enhancing organizational engagement and lowering intention to quit. Internally, employees are encouraged to make decisions accompanying fairness and responsibility and thus, shared values will be created between hospitals and nurses, while it will contribute to create a good image of the hospital to the public. However, it is also revealed that climates deficient in ethics, such as a climate of selfishness, have strong negative influences on workplace attitude of nurses. Therefore, recognizing importance and effectiveness of ethical climates, hospitals should underscore personal ethics of managers and nurses, and should go further to exert strategic efforts on the organizational level to create ethical hospital climates where nurses can naturally take ethical actions.

This study used a job demand-resources model as the basis to examine the effects of job demand and job resources on health problems and turnover intention. A total of 320 nurses who were employed at university hospitals in Seoul participated in the study. The results showed that job demand and job resources had a direct effect on the levels of work burnout and work engagement. Work burnout had a direct effect by increasing the levels of health problems and turnover intentions of nurses; conversely, work engagement had no direct impact on either of the two levels. Job demand and job resources had an indirect effect on increased levels of health problems and turnover intention. The results can be used by hospital administrations to confirm the organizational significance of job resources in increasing job performance and work involvement, as well as to understand the consequences of perceived job demand by nurses.

The current study examined which leadership styles of nurse managers affect teamwork among nurses. The analytic sample consisted of 187 clinical or charge nurses, who were recruited from one university affiliated large hospital in Korea. The results from the multiple regression analysis showed that higher nurse managers' transformational, servant, and ethical leaderships were significantly associated with higher teamwork among nurses. Yet, nurse managers' transactional leadership was not related to teamwork among nurses. These findings indicate that it is effective for nurse managers to display transformational, servant, and ethical leadership rather than transactional leadership in order to enhance teamwork among nurses. This study suggests the needs to address not only transformational leadership but also servant and ethical leadership during leadership education for nurse managers.
