Current nursing literature has suggested that nurses may have low needs or preferences for decision-making autonomy. In this study, the authors found that nurses differed in their preferences for decision-making autonomy in three types of work-related decisions. Employed nurses with a greater preference for autonomy were more satisfied with their jobs, and those with little or no such preference were less satisfied, as they gained decision-making influence over patient care and unit management. The authors discuss implications for designing and implementing decision-making programs.
