Nathan has been on the cardiac unit for 6 months and has found it difficult to adjust to the expectations of his team. Which of the following behaviors would most likely signal that Nathan is intending to resign from his position on the unit?
a. Increased absenteeism over the past month
b. Increased attempts to discuss his concerns with his colleagues
c. Testing of workplace guidelines
d. Frequent defensiveness
A
Many employees increase their absenteeism just before submitting their resignation. If the healthcare worker is experiencing some form of role stress, it might be manifested through ab-senteeism. Role strain may be reflected by (1) withdrawal from interaction; (2) reduced in-volvement with colleagues and the organization; (3) decreased commitment to the mission and the team; and (4) job dissatisfaction. Testing of workplace guidelines and defensiveness are as-sociated with immaturity.
