James-Scotter, M. (2021). The value and viability of a daily job satisfaction measure in the operating room setting [The Morale-o-Meter study]. Doctoral thesis, University of Auckland, Auckland.
Abstract: Develops a daily measure of job satisfaction in the operating room (OR) setting in the form of a tool called the Morale-o-Meter. Trials and evaluates the tool between 2018-2019, inviting all OR staff to participate using the tool to measure their job satisfaction once each shift. Follows up the trial with an online feedback survey. Proves that overall job satisfaction is positively related to daily job satisfaction and affective commitment, and negatively related to emotional exhaustion. Suggests the Morale-o-Meter has the potential to increase the voice of OR nurses.

Jones, S. A. S. (2016). Understanding The Experience And Perceptions Of Managers And Preceptors Involved In Competency Assessment And Performance Management Of Nursing Staff Identified As Practicing Unsafely: An Evaluation Of The Effectiveness Of The Sip/Pip Framework. (133 p.). New Zealand: University of Auckland.

Uses a qualitative approach with data collected through individual semi-structured interviews with preceptors and nurse managers. Due to lack of participation in the quantitative arm a mixed-method study was not completed using an anonymous survey. Undertakes thematic data analysis utilising NVIVO 10 software. Draws four major themes from the qualitative data: (1) Feedback- insight loop, (2) Process clarity, (3) Relationships, commitment & reflective response to participation in the SIP/PIP process, (4) Barriers and enablers to the SIP/PIP process.
