Transformational leadership (TL) has long been popular among management scholars and health services researchers, but no research studies have empirically tested the association of TL with workplace injuries and absenteeism among nursing assistants (NAs).
This cross-sectional study seeks to explore whether TL is associated with workplace injuries and absenteeism among NAs.
We analyzed the 2004 National Nursing Assistant Survey data (n = 2,882). A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to test the role of TL in the context of workplace performances.
Results reveal that the TL model was positively linked to workplace injury in the level of NAs. Injury-related absenteeism was also associated with the TL style, indicating that TL behaviors may help address workplace absence among NAs.
Findings suggest that introducing TL practices may benefit NAs in improving workplace performances.
变革型领导(TL)长期以来一直受到管理学者和卫生服务研究人员的欢迎,但没有研究实证检验 TL 与护理助理(NA)工作场所伤害和旷工之间的关系。
本横断面研究旨在探讨 TL 是否与 NA 工作场所伤害和旷工有关。
我们分析了 2004 年全国护理助理调查数据(n=2882)。采用多元逻辑回归分析检验 TL 在工作绩效背景下的作用。
结果表明,TL 模型与 NA 层面的工作场所伤害呈正相关。与伤害相关的旷工也与 TL 风格有关,这表明 TL 行为可能有助于解决 NA 的工作场所缺勤问题。
研究结果表明,引入 TL 实践可能有利于提高 NA 的工作绩效。
