Clan, developmental, empirical and rational cultures were identified using the competing values framework. This study was organized around three basic questions. The first question asked whether hospital management teams in the USA, Canada and the UK have different management cultures given the differences in their political economies. The second question asked whether management culture was associated with differences in performance? The third question addressed the issue of the legitimacy of culture type as an independent variable. If culture type has legitimacy, other organizational variables such as structure, conflict resolution style, market strategy and stakeholder priorities should be manifested differently in each culture type. The findings support the legitimacy of the culture variable and the premise that the political economy influences the distribution of cult...

However, this assumption has not been validated in the literature. The relationship between a nurse's propensity to exit the nurse profession in Ontario and employment status was explored by building an extended Cox Proportional Hazards Regression Model using a counting process technique. The differential exit patterns between part-time and casual nurses suggest that the common practice of treating part-time and casual nurses as equivalent is misleading. Health care decision makers should consider nurse retention strategies specifically targeting casual nurses because this segment of the profession is at the greatest risk of leaving. Nurse executives and nurse managers should investigate the different work preferences of part-time and casual nurses ...

The assumed similarities between part-time and casual nurses have not been fully investigated. Understanding the differences between full-time, part-time and casual nurses may have implications for nurse recruitment and retention at the market level. This study’s objective is to determine
