To examine the effect of authentic leadership and structural empowerment on the emotional exhaustion and cynicism of new graduates and experienced acute-care nurses.
Employee empowerment is a fundamental component of healthy work environments that promote nurse health and retention, and nursing leadership is key to creating these environments.
In a secondary analysis of data from two studies we compared the pattern of relationships among study variables in two Ontario groups: 342 new graduates with <2 years of experience and 273 nurses with more than 2 years of experience.
A multi-group path analysis using Structural Equation Modelling indicated an acceptable fit of the final model (χ(2) = 17.52, df = 2, P < 0.001, CFI = 0.97, IFI = 0.97 and RMSEA = 0.11). Authentic leadership significantly and negatively influenced emotional exhaustion and cynicism through workplace empowerment in both groups.
The authentic behaviour of nursing leaders was important to nurses' perceptions of structurally empowering conditions in their work environments, regardless of experience level, and ultimately contributed to lower levels of emotional exhaustion and cynicism.
Leadership training for nurse managers may help develop the empowering work environments required in today's health-care organizations in order to attract and retain nurses.
考察真实领导和结构授权对新毕业生和有经验的急症护理护士的情绪耗竭和愤世嫉俗的影响。
员工授权是促进护士健康和保留的健康工作环境的基本组成部分，护理领导是创造这些环境的关键。
在对两项研究数据的二次分析中，我们比较了安大略省两个群体中研究变量之间关系的模式：<2 年经验的 342 名新毕业生和>2 年经验的 273 名护士。
使用结构方程模型的多组路径分析表明，最终模型具有可接受的拟合度（χ(2) = 17.52，df = 2，P < 0.001，CFI = 0.97，IFI = 0.97 和 RMSEA = 0.11）。真实领导通过工作场所授权对两个群体的情绪耗竭和愤世嫉俗产生了显著的负面影响。
护理领导者的真实行为对于护士对工作环境中结构授权条件的看法很重要，无论经验水平如何，最终有助于降低情绪耗竭和愤世嫉俗的程度。
对护士长进行领导力培训可能有助于为当今医疗保健组织开发所需的赋权工作环境，以吸引和留住护士。
