In this study, modifiable elements of organizational context (i.e., culture, social capital, and time) were positively associated with care aides' psychological empowerment. Future interventions might usefully target these modifiable elements of unit level context in the interest of assessing their effects on staff work attitudes and outcomes, including the quality of resident care.
