Social capital: the value-creating, performance-boosting phenomenon.
Does it really matter if you don't have a great relationship with your employer and co-workers? Hospitals are a good place to find the answer. A recent study in the Journal for Health Affairs indicates that less than 50 percent of nurses report that their hospital cares about their concerns, provides opportunities in decisionmaking, or acknowledges their contribution to patient care. How hospitals deal with these issues will determine which flourish and which flounder.
