Beyond the UAUT: Questionnaire study examining the acceptance of a web-based team development tool aimed at improving work-related wellbeing in nurses

Abstract

Background:

The aim of this study is to examine the factors predicting the acceptance of a digitally-supported leadership and team development tool among nurse managers in three German-speaking countries.

Objective:

The tool supports leaders in conducting a participatory intervention that is aimed at enhancing wellbeing and motivation of staff by identifying and addressing critical job demands and resources

Methods:

The tool combines an online teaching and coaching approach with a team survey and an in-person team workshop.

Results:

As a complex tool consisting of innovative technological as well as procedural aspects, we expect predictors beyond those of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) to be relevant in determining its acceptance, specifically, capacities on the level of the self, team and organization.

Conclusions:

As a complex tool consisting of innovative technological as well as procedural aspects, we expect predictors beyond those of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) to be relevant in determining its acceptance, specifically, capacities on the level of the self, team and organization.
