To examine the influence of personal and situational factors on direct-care nurses' interests in pursuing nursing management roles.
Nursing managers are ageing and nurses do not appear to be interested in nursing management roles, raising concerns about a nursing leadership shortage in the next decade. Little research has focused on factors influencing nurses' career aspirations to nursing management roles.
A national survey of nurses from nine Canadian provinces was conducted (n = 1241). Multiple regression was used to test a model of personal and situational predictors of nurses' career aspirations to management roles.
Twenty-four per cent of nurses expressed interest in pursuing nursing management roles. Personal and situational factors explained 60.2% of nurses' aspirations to management roles. Age, educational preparation, feasibility of further education, leadership self-efficacy, career motivation, and opportunity to motivate others were the strongest predictors of aspirations for management roles.
Personal factors were more strongly associated with career aspirations than situational factors. There is a steady decline in interest in management roles with increasing age.
Nursing leadership training to develop leadership self-efficacy (particularly for younger nurses) and organizational support for pursuing advanced education may encourage nurses to pursue nursing management roles.
探讨个人和情境因素对直接护理护士从事护理管理角色兴趣的影响。
护理管理人员日趋老龄化，而护士似乎对护理管理角色不感兴趣，这引发了人们对未来十年护理领导人才短缺的担忧。很少有研究关注影响护士从事护理管理角色职业抱负的因素。
对加拿大 9 个省份的护士进行了一项全国性调查（n=1241）。采用多元回归检验了个人和情境因素对护士管理角色职业抱负的预测模型。
24%的护士表示有兴趣从事护理管理工作。个人和情境因素解释了护士管理角色职业抱负的 60.2%。年龄、教育准备、继续教育的可行性、领导自我效能、职业动机和激励他人的机会是管理角色愿望的最强预测因素。
与情境因素相比，个人因素与职业抱负的相关性更强。随着年龄的增长，对管理角色的兴趣稳步下降。
护理领导力培训以培养领导自我效能（特别是对年轻护士而言）和对追求高等教育的组织支持，可能会鼓励护士从事护理管理角色。
