Speaking up, support, control and work engagement of medical residents. A structural equation modelling analysis.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:Medical residents can play key roles in improving health care quality by speaking up and giving suggestions for improvements. However, previous research on speaking up by medical residents has shown that speaking up is difficult for residents. This study explored: (i) whether two main aspects of medical residents' work context (job control and supervisor support) are associated with speaking up by medical residents, and (ii) whether these associations differ between in-hospital and out-of-hospital settings. METHODS:Speaking up was operationalised and measured as voice behaviour. Structural equation modelling using a cross-sectional survey design was used to identify and test factors pertaining to speaking up and to compare hospital settings. RESULTS:A total of 499 medical reside
