Answer
Barriers Caused by an Organizational Culture
Nurses have become an integral part of healthcare leadership in the modern health industry with their leadership skills required both at the bedside and in the boardroom. However, nursing challenges, especially leadership, have become manifest with significant barriers that hinder the efficiency and quality of service delivery (Ferguson, 2015). Among the challenges that nurses are likely to face are impediments arising from the organizational culture, making the leaders feel powerless. Culture refers to a set of shared beliefs, customs, and values that define the employees' perception, understanding, and behavior within the organization. In this context, the organizational culture can cause significant barriers to leadership and practice, thereby rendering the nurses powerless, which this paper seeks to discuss.
Organizations that do not value leadership training may render nurse leaders powerless since they would lack the necessary leadership skills and expertise to deliver the best possible care (Ferguson, 2015). Besides, in organization that do not support nursing practice and leadership to the best of training and qualification, the practice may lead to structural barriers, which makes the nursing leaders powerless (Shanafelt et al., 2015). Despite being at the heart of patient care, a culture that does not support nursing advocacy may render them powerless, especially in situations where the nurses have to follow unnecessary bureaucracies. An organizational culture that prioritizes the interest of the patient will empower the nursing leaders to advance their patient advocacy roles.
Moreover, an organization’s culture has a powerful influence on the recruitment process, determining the efficiency in staffing. In situations where there is a shortage, the nursing leaders become powerless as they cannot assign nurses to patients adequately. Additionally, through technology, health services' delivery becomes more manageable and affordable, subsequently relieving nurses from burnout (Shanafelt et al., 2015). However, organizations that are reluctant to embrace technology leave the nurse leader powerless as they cannot become effective with the limited staffing.]
