SE increases employees' self-esteem, which can encourage a dissatisfied employee to look for other better work options, thus influencing their continuance commitment (CC). Workplace bullying is associated with higher turnover intentions and reduced commitment. This study investigates the mediating effects of person-related bullying (PB) and work-related bullying (WB) on the relationship between SE and CC. The study findings highlight the partial mediation effect of PB and serial mediation of WB and PB on the relationship between SE and CC. This study establishes that in comparison to WB, PB causes more damage to employee relationships with the organization. Moreover, the serial mediation effect of WB and PB is also noticed on the relationship between SE and CC. Organizations should regularly measure their employees' CC, as SE negatively affects CC. Organizations should take adequate measures to curb PB to preserve employee morale and confidence. This study uniquely reports a negative relationship between SE and CC.</p>","PeriodicalId":55886,"journal":{"name":"Hospital Topics","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142037835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relevant articles were extracted from the Scopus database and analyzed to identify and explore the most active authors, author-wise contribution to the sources, sub-research topics, core sources, top authors' production over time, global cited documents, thematic maps, word cloud, country-wise collaboration network and map, author keywords-based network, historiograph, and spectroscope. The study finds that health advocacy as a concept is under-explored and thus warrants a need for future research work. Limited authors have contributed to this theme, and the continuity of publication needs to be improved. The study highlights that there needs to be a robust framework to assess, evaluate, and implement health advocacy. The researchers are limited to only a few authors who have published in limited journals. The current study brings out the need for research and publications on health advocacy to develop a framework for assessing and implementing health advocacy.

The aim of this study is to determine the influence of executive involvement in governance on health system performance. The sample analyzed in this study were organizations responding to The Governance Institute's (TGI) Biennial Survey of Hospital and Health Systems in 2017. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to examine associations between self-reported executive leadership team involvement in governing boards and a composite metric of health system performance calculated by Truven Analytics as part of the \"Top 100\" program. Results indicate executive involvement is associated with several organizational characteristics, including whether an institution was defined as a hospital or health system, whether or not the board was appointed by the parent/system, and whether the board was accountable to the parent/system board.

Four secondary datasets were used: the American Hospital Association (AHA) Annual Survey, Medicare cost reports (CMS), Area Health Resource File (AHRF), and the Robert Graham Center's SDI.

Increasing market social deprivation increases the hospital operating margin of cost leaders by 0.06%. Similarly, increasing levels of market social deprivation increases the hospital operating margin of hybrids by 0.06% (<i>p</i> < 0.05).
