Article Abstract:
A circular organization chart can be used effectively to promote team-based organization in a hospital. The circular organization plan allows for integration of all hospital employees and encourages managers to increase leadership within their department. One hospital used this approach to implement its mission of redesigned services, improved quality and integrated services, and a focus on health-care continuum. The circular structure is limited in its ability to create distinct reporting relationships between administration and department managers.

Article Abstract:
Data gathered from 195 Israeli hospital physicians revealed that job satisfaction and autonomy have little or no impact on a physician's intent to remain with a hospital. Instead, primary predictors are years of hospital employment and tenure. Data collection used two sets of one questionnaire handed out and one mailed to physicians. Recommended modifications for U.S. studies are include an individual's turnover history and employment setting.
