Diversified Teams, Organizational Performance, China's HospitalsAbstract
The impacts of diversified teams in an organization are varied and still need to be studied. Despite their existing challenges, the roles of diversified teams also positively impact the organization if supported by good leaders and systems. This study aimed to investigate the hospital leaders' policy to assist young nurses in adapting to hospitals in China, along with the impacts of their job performance on organizational performance. The researcher utilized a qualitative study, employing library research to gather data from various reputable sources to assess the quality of the findings. The researcher did a deductive content analysis of the current data, categorizing relevant resources and concluding the findings through interpretation. The results showed that the roles of leaders are significant in fostering the collaboration between senior and young nurses, which subsequently impacts organizational performance. Some measures include carrying out diversified group activities, developing good communication feedback mechanisms, creating a positive organizational atmosphere, improving the working environment, and increasing the openness and transparency of management. These actions contribute highly to a friendly climate in hospitals in China and foster staff's working motivation and integration which in turn are impactful for hospital performance
