To examine the relationships between new graduate nurses' perceptions of preceptor authentic leadership, work engagement and job satisfaction.
During a time when the retention of new graduate nurses is of the upmost importance, the reliance on preceptors to facilitate the transition of new graduate nurses is paramount.
A predictive non-experimental survey design was used to examine the relationships between study variables. The final sample consisted of 170 randomly selected Registered Nurses (RNs) with <3 years experience and who worked in an acute care setting.
Hierarchical multiple regression demonstrated that 20% of the variance in job satisfaction was explained by authentic leadership and work engagement. Furthermore, work engagement was found to partially mediate the relationship between authentic leadership of preceptors and engagement of new graduate nurses.
New graduate nurses paired with preceptors who demonstrate high levels of authentic leadership feel more engaged and are more satisfied. Engagement is an important mechanism by which authentic leadership affects job satisfaction.
Managers must be aware of the role preceptors' authentic leadership plays in promoting work engagement and job satisfaction of new nurses.
考察新毕业护士对导师真实领导、工作投入和工作满意度的感知之间的关系。
在新毕业护士保留至关重要的时期，依赖导师来促进新毕业护士的过渡至关重要。
采用预测性非实验调查设计来检验研究变量之间的关系。最终样本由 170 名随机选择的具有 <3 年经验且在急症护理环境中工作的注册护士 (RN) 组成。
层次多元回归表明，工作满意度的 20%差异可以由真实领导和工作投入来解释。此外，还发现工作投入部分中介了导师真实领导与新毕业护士投入之间的关系。
与表现出高度真实领导能力的导师配对的新毕业护士感到更投入，工作满意度更高。投入是真实领导影响工作满意度的重要机制。
管理人员必须意识到导师的真实领导在促进新护士的工作投入和工作满意度方面所起的作用。
