• Description:
  This presentation had the following hypotheses: H1a: Male nurses will report more physical workload demands than female nurses. H1b: Female nurses will report greater social demands in the form of coworker incivility than male nurses. RQ1: Do organizational demands of shift work, understaffing, and attention switching differentially impact male and female nurses? H2: Male nurses will report more job resources of (2a) autonomy, (2b) social support, and (2c) supervisor support. RQ2: Do male and female nurses report differing levels of burnout, stress, dissatisfaction, turnover intention, injury, and pain? The implications of this study are as follows: Male and female nurses report significantly different work experiences. Physical workload and injury disproportionately affect men. Challenges for male nurses' social integration into primarily female units. Gender biases and stereotypes in predominantly female professions. Recruitment and retention of nurses, especially male nurses. Evidence that targeted research may lead to better interventions. [Description provided by NIOSH]
