Purpose The purpose of the study was to understand and describe the team manager's experience in relation to the team system in the hospital organization. Methods: In-depth individual interviews for collection of data were conducted from October to November 2011. Participants were chosen purposely among team managers who had worked as team managers under the team manager system in Seoul for more than three years. Content of all interviews was recorded and transcribed according to information collected by interviewers. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi's analysis. Results: Six categories were derived from the analysis: 1) Strengthening of team manager's authority; 2) Sharing of multifaceted leadership role; 3) Demonstrating people-oriented leadership; 4) Complete interpersonal relationship and communication; 5) Self-empowering with web-like plans and practices; and 6) Going through rigorous commitment for team performance. Conclusion: Results of the study demonstrate various positive factors in association with the team system in spite of the short period of time since its introduction in the hospital organization; however, some negative aspects of the team system need to be reevaluated. |
