Abstract

|
This article explores the potentials of the application of organization theories to nursing research on health care organizations in Korea. The critical review of the literature reveals that the important topics on organizations in health services research have been also dealt with by nursing researchers. Notwithstanding this theoretical closeness between the two fields, some issues remain: the paucity of attention to ’level issue’, which requires to increase the attempts at ’meso-’ or ’macro-’ analysis on nurses’ behavior in organizations; the need for theoretical frameworks specifying organizational factors relating to nursing processes; the necessity of interdisciplinary approaches to bridge the recent developments of organizational study and nursing research. This article finishes with a few of research agendas for future research to fill these gaps.
