Abstract

Background: The association between quality of work life and participation in knowledge management is unknown.

Objectives: This study aimed to discover the association between quality of work life of nurse managers and their participation in implementing knowledge management.

Materials and methods: This was a correlational study. All nurse managers (71 people) from 11 hospitals affiliated with the Social Security Organization in Tehran, Iran, were included. They were asked to rate their participation in knowledge management and their quality of work life. Data was gathered by a researcher-made questionnaire (May-June 2012). The questionnaire was validated by content and construct validity approaches. Cronbach's alpha was used to evaluate reliability. Finally, 50 questionnaires were analyzed. The answers were scored and analyzed using mean of scores, T-test, ANOVA (or nonparametric test, if appropriate), Pearson's correlation coefficient and linear regression.

Results: Nurse managers' performance to implement knowledge management strategies was moderate. A significant correlation was found between quality of work life of nurse managers and their participation in implementing knowledge management strategies (r = 0.82; P < 0.001). The strongest correlations were found between implementation of knowledge management and participation of nurse managers in decision making (r = 0.82; P < 0.001).

Conclusions: Improvement of nurse managers' work life quality, especially in decision-making, may increase their participation in implementing knowledge management.

护理管理人员工作生活质量与知识管理参与的相关研究。

背景:工作生活质量与参与知识管理之间的关系尚不清楚。目的:本研究旨在探讨护理管理人员的工作生活品质与参与实施知识管理的关系。材料与方法:本研究为相关研究。来自伊朗德黑兰11家社会保障组织附属医院的所有护士管理人员(71人)被纳入研究。他们被要求对自己在知识管理方面的参与程度和工作生活质量进行打分。数据通过研究者自行制作的问卷收集(2012年5 - 6月)。采用内容效度法和结构效度法对问卷进行验证。采用Cronbach’s alpha评价信度。最后对50份问卷进行分析。使用得分均值、t检验、方差分析(或非参数检验，如果合适)、Pearson相关系数和线性回归对答案进行评分和分析。结果:护理管理人员实施知识管理策略的绩效一般。护理管理人员的工作生活质量与其参与实施知识管理策略之间存在显著相关(r = 0.82;P < 0.001)。实施知识管理与护理管理者参与决策之间的相关性最强(r = 0.82;P < 0.001)。结论:提高护理管理者的工作生活质量，尤其是决策质量，可提高其实施知识管理的参与度。
