Triads in sustainable supply-chain perspective: why is a collaboration mechanism needed?

Abstract: This research explores focal actors and their dyads, addressing their sustainable collaboration in triads and its relevance in the agri-triads that share information along the supply chains We employ a multiple-case approach and presents two triads through 42 interviews, observation and documentaries An abductive approach, Transaction Cost Economics (TCE), conceptually guides the analytical iteration stages between theory and data The findings describe the collaboration mechanisms of focal actors at triad levels and the development of their dyads capabilities for sustainable supply chains Eight triad approaches emerge in the present research; these are grouped into three aggregated levels according to the intensity of information-sharing between focal and associate actors in each triad The research has identified six contextual factors that are linked to the TCE dimensions of asset specificity, uncertainty and frequency, and offers key propositions The research gained insights into how focal actors in dyadic triads choose between the available approaches based on different intensity levels of information-sharing This research presents a conceptual framework informing the choice of triad approaches reflecting collaboration mechanism strategies, and thus the intensity of information-sharing and sustainability performance The study elaborates on the application of TCE and extends it empirically to the literature

Clinical errors, nursing shortage and moral distress: The situation in Jordan

Abstract: In the current healthcare arena, clinical errors are receiving much attention. Unintentionally, nurses commit errors, which require guiding ethical principles. This replicated study aimed to assess Jordanian Registered Nurses’ (RNs) perceptions of clinical errors they had committed over the past year: assess nurses’ perceptions of clinical errors committed by other nurses’ detect if these errors were related to the nursing shortage and assess whether or not nurses felt any moral distress. The studied phenomena were compared across different hospitals as well as in various units and wards. A survey was used to collect data from 420 nurses from 13 hospitals. A considerable percentage of RNs reported that they omitted to give medication/treatment or gave medication/treatment at the wrong time, and also indicated that other nurses gave incorrect medication or incorrectly administered treatments; practice issues which were related to the nursing shortage and causing moral distress. RNs perceived that c...
