Topic > ||Literature review: Meaningful recognition defined in 2005 by the (AACN) with the statement "recognition of the value and significance of one's contribution to the work of an organization is a basic human need and an essential requirement for personal development and professional People who are not recognized feel invisible, undervalued, unmotivated and disrespected" (AACN, 2005). In the past, nurses received recognition from both physicians and their closest nursing managers (McClosskey & Grace, 1990). Recognition of good work among nurses is linked to how they achieve task priorities in their daily activity and whether nurses do things in a standard way. or the way they have to do it (Christiansen, 2008). People's good work can be recognized by evaluating performance and comparing it to other professional standards (Gardner, Csikszentmihalyi, & Damon, 2001). Good performance recognition is an important motivator, which can be used to improve employees' self-esteem and job confidence (Bowen & Lawler, 1992). In Christiansen's 2008 study, interviewees demonstrated the importance of feedback from colleagues and physicians in evaluating their work. The results also showed that recognizing the good work done by nurses leads to addressing the tension between ideals and realities of professional work (Christiansen, 2008). Overall, the work environment is usually influenced by many factors such as job stress, group cohesion and recognition (Ernst, et al., 2004). A reduction in job satisfaction related to lack of recognition linked to nurses' retention problems and intention to leave (Blegan, 1990; Parasuraman, 1989). In the study conducted by Ernst et al. In 2004, results showed that recognition was significantly correlated with weekly working hours and that receiving...... center of document ......n was significantly correlated with a score of lower empowerment (Zurmehly, et al., 2009). The role of nurses is to improve and provide safe, high quality care, the concept of empowerment used specifically with nursing in relation to the quality of care to achieve the highest level of patient well-being (Bolton & Goodcnough, 2003) . The role of nurse managers includes empowering nursing staff to improve the quality of patient care, which ultimately improves patient outcomes by providing conditions and environment that support professional practice and effective relationships within the setting work (Laschinger, Gilbert, Smith, & Leslie, 2010 ). In 1999, Laschinger and colleagues demonstrated in their study that employees' perception of access to empowerment structures is significantly influenced by leaders' empowerment behaviors (Laschinger, Wong, McMahon, & Kaufmann, 1999).
