About the Book

Creating empowered work teams–a method of involving non-management employees in brainstorming, problem solving, and decision making within an organization–has proven successful in the manufacturing sector and is now being applied to the long-term care field. This practical guide illustrates the far-reaching benefits of empowered work teams in long-term care organizations and explains in everyday terms how to implement the concept.

About the Author :
Dale Yeatts, Ph.D., is Professor of Sociology at the University of North Texas. His primary areas of study are empowered work teams, gerontology, the workplace, and nursing homes. Dr. Yeatts has received large grants from the National Science Foundation, Commonwealth Fund, and Texas Advanced Research Program to examine “what works” in the case of self-managed work teams in both manufacturing and long-term care settings. He has published his work in a variety of places including several books (e.g., High Performing Self-Managed Work Teams: A Comparison of Theory to Practice) and academic and professional journals (e.g., The Gerontologist and Journal of Gerontological Nursing).|Cynthia M. Cready, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of North Texas. Her research interests include long-term care of elders, family, and racial/ethnic differentiation and inequality. Her articles on these topics have been published in a variety of journals, including The Gerontologist, The Milbank Quarterly, Health Services Research, Journal of Marriage and the Family, Social Science Quarterly, and others.|Linda S. Noelker, Ph.D., is the Senior Vice President for Planning and Organizational Resources and the Director of the Katz Policy Institute at the Benjamin Rose Institute. Dr. Noelker received her graduate degrees from Case Western Reserve University where she is an Adjunct Professor of Sociology. She is the former Editor-in-Chief of The Gerontologist, the leading scientific journal in applied aging research, practice and policy. Dr. Noelker holds leadership positions in the American Society on Aging and the Gerontological Society of America, the two major professional societies in the field of aging. She received the 2005 American Society on Aging Award for exemplary contributions to the field of gerontology and the 2005 Distinguished Career in Gerontology Award from the Behavioral and Social Sciences section of the Gerontological Society of America. Throughout her career, she has conducted research on the nature and effects of family care for frail aged, patterns of service use by older adults and their family caregivers, and sources of stress and job satisfaction among direct care workers.

Review :
"Yeatts, Cready, and Noelker provide a very comprehensive review of the theory and research about empowerment within organizations.... Managers or administrators of long-term care facilities will find this volume most relevant to their daily challenges."--Applied Gerontology Program, University of North Texas"Reviews" (01/01/2001) "...'Empowered Work Teams' proves to be a powerful guide and reference no long term care leader should be without."-- (06/24/2010) "I strongly encourage all long-term care providers to consider implementing empowered work teams in their facilities. Our facility's certified nursing assistants learned so much and felt so appreciated that their knowledge of the residents' direct care needs were, indeed, important in the decision-making process. The licensed and management staff also benefited from the empowerment program as it has resulted in a stronger team unity and a sense of accomplishment of each team. ...[The authors] have done an outstanding job of documenting and presenting their research and the results of their work."-- (01/01/2001) "Yeatts, Cready, and Noelker provide an excellent new tool for health care leaders as we seek to improve care and services in a challenging and changing environment. Successful organizations can utilize empowered work teams to enhance communication and ultimately impact care delivery."-- (01/01/2001)
