Abstract

Background: Open-book management as an approach of information-sharing can lead to a reduction in organizational anomie. Aim: assess the relationship between open book management and anomie as perceived by nursing staff. Research design: Cross sectional descriptive correlational design. Setting: Main Assuit University Hospital, Al-Eman General Hospital, and Health Insurance Hospital. Sample: A convenience sample (854) nursing staff were involved in the study. Study tools: personal characteristics of nursing staff, Open book management questionnaire, and Anomie scale were used for data collection. Results: There is a highly statistical negative correlation between the studied nursing staff OBM, and Anomie level at p-value at <0.01. Conclusion: Open- book management as an approach for information sharing tends to reduce anomie. Moreover, there was a moderate perception level of OBM and anomie among nursing staff at the three hospitals. Recommendations: Encourage open book style of management in order to promote efficient teamwork; Managers should use different strategies to avoid organizational anomie to prevent organizational cynicism among nursing staff.
