Professional power and professional effectiveness in hospitals is a little investigated but very critical phenomenon. The problem with any investigation on power is the many variables which are involved and the complex way in which they manifest themselves. ⋯ The null hypothesis was rejected in favour of the alternative hypothesis, concluding that the original nine variables contained redundancies and could be replaced with four non-redundant factors. The implications for future research in this area are stated.
