This study examines the relationship between leadership style and the psychosocial work environment of registered nurses.
Research consistently supports the positive relationship between transformational leadership style and job satisfaction. There is less evidence, which identifies the relationship between leadership style and psychosocial work environment.
The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire 5× was used to identify the leadership style. The Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire was used to measure psychosocial work environment dimensions. Statistical analysis included Pearson's r correlation between leadership style and psychosocial work environment and anova to analyse group means.
There is a significant correlation between leadership style and 22 out of the 37 dimensions of the psychosocial work environment. This correlation was significant ranging from r = 0.88, P < 0.01 to r = 0.18, P < 0.05. Nurses divided into groups based on transformational leadership scores of the immediate supervisor report significant differences in their psychosocial work environment.
This study supports the significant correlation between leadership style and psychosocial work environment for registered nurses.
The results of this study suggest that there would be an improvement in the nursing psychosocial work environment by implementation of transformational and contingent reward leadership behaviours.
本研究考察了护士长领导风格与注册护士心理社会工作环境之间的关系。
研究一直支持变革型领导风格与工作满意度之间的积极关系。但关于领导风格与心理社会工作环境之间关系的证据较少。
使用多因素领导问卷 5× 来确定领导风格。使用哥本哈根心理社会问卷来衡量心理社会工作环境维度。统计分析包括领导风格与心理社会工作环境之间的 Pearson r 相关以及 anova 分析组均值。
领导风格与心理社会工作环境的 37 个维度中的 22 个维度之间存在显著相关性。这种相关性从 r = 0.88,P < 0.01 到 r = 0.18,P < 0.05 不等,均具有统计学意义。根据直接主管的变革型领导得分将护士分组,报告其心理社会工作环境存在显著差异。
本研究支持注册护士领导风格与心理社会工作环境之间的显著相关性。
本研究结果表明,通过实施变革型和权变奖励领导行为,护理心理社会工作环境将会得到改善。
