Work Content of Nurse Managers Predicting Teamwork as Perceived by Nurses in a Government Hospital

Nurse managers must promote teamwork for good patient outcomes, staff satisfaction, and a healthy workplace. However, there is limited studies where teamwork is being predicted by work content of nurse managers. This quantitative research utilized the descriptive, correlational (predictive) design to assess whether the dimensions of work content of the nurse managers predict the teamwork among nurses of a government hospital in Jagobiao, Mandaue City for the second quarter of 2025. Findings of the study revealed that work content of the nurse managers was very good. The dimensions of organizing, work well-being, work atmosphere, communication, clinical nursing, development of the unit, personnel development, development of nursing, financial management, planning and evaluation of activities, collaboration, and development with collaborating partners were very good while recruitment was good. The teamwork was good and the dimensions of trust. backup, shared mental model, and team leadership were good while team orientation was fair. The dimensions of developing of the unit and collaboration predicted teamwork. However, the dimensions of recruitment, organizing, work well-being, work atmosphere, communication, clinical nursing, personnel development, development of nursing, financial management, planning and evaluation of activities, and development with collaborating partners did not. In conclusion, teamwork is influenced by developing of the unit and collaboration. This means that as development of the unit and collaboration decreases, it increases teamwork. To address the findings of the study a teamwork enhancement plan is proposed.
