Using a nursing performance information system.

Abstract

Presently, most nursing performance evaluation systems do not incorporate attitudinal data nor consider its influence on performance evaluation systems. When the Nursing Performance Information System is correlated with unit performance evaluation data and staffing requirements, nurse managers can observe significant changes in each and every important predictor of nurse performance. By incorporating key environmental performance indicators into evaluation systems, appropriate strategies are formulated to improve hospital productivity.

Effectiveness of the direct product versus confirmatory factor model for reflecting the structure of multimethod-multirater job performance data.

Most job-related decisions are based on information concerning the nature of structure of work. For example, the extent to which certain aspects of the job are separable and critical for successful performance often serve as inputs to an organization's performance management and compensation systems. Because the information needs to be as veridical as possible, it is common to have this information provided on multiple perspectives of the job and from multiple sources. This multimethod-multirater structuring of job data is typically analyzed to determine such things as convergent and discriminant validity. It is imperative that the user select the correct model for these analyses, as each approach makes very different assumptions about the composition of the data. The authors describe the 2 most common approaches-the additive and direct product models. Data from 7 different jobs are analyzed. The researchers argue the direct product model provides a better representation of the data.
