title: The perceived impact of committee participation on job satisfaction and retention of staff nurses.
abstract: In 1989, in response to the nursing shortage and much literature on dissatisfiers for practising nurses, the Ontario Minister of Health introduced a new regulation to the Public Hospitals Act, requiring that staff nurses and nurse managers have widespread representation on hospital committees. While involvement of nurse managers on such committees was not new, the participation of staff nurses certainly was.
