Increasing employee productivity, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment

Hospital managers can increase employee productivity, job satisfaction and employee involvement in the goals of their hospital through demonstrating certain leadership behaviors.

Employees who felt their managers empowered the staff had high job satisfaction. Hospital workers who felt their employers were focused on change and new technology showed high organizational committment. Employees who felt managers set high standards and behave according to the same values they set for their employees had high productivity.
