This study describes the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and transformational leadership (TL) in nurse managers (NMs).
Effective NM leadership is important as they have direct influence over RN performance and patient outcomes. Research has demonstrated that a TL style generates greater commitment from followers than other leadership styles. EI is 1 potential characteristic of TL.
A descriptive exploratory research study was conducted to correlate EI and TL practices of NMs.
EI was significantly positively correlated with TL and outcome measures of extra-effort, effectiveness, and satisfaction and significantly negatively correlated with laissez-faire leadership. A positive relationship was found between TL and NMs with advanced education and administrative certification.
Nursing administrators should consider EI characteristics when hiring NMs and lead efforts to advance education to align with organization needs for business and strategic essentials necessary for NM effectiveness.
本研究描述了护士长的情商(EI)与变革型领导(TL)之间的关系。
有效的护士长领导很重要,因为他们对注册护士的绩效和患者的治疗结果有直接影响。研究表明,与其他领导风格相比,变革型领导风格能使追随者产生更高的忠诚度。情商是变革型领导的一个潜在特征。
进行了一项描述性探索性研究,以关联护士长的情商和变革型领导行为。
情商与变革型领导以及额外努力、有效性和满意度的结果指标显著正相关,与放任型领导显著负相关。变革型领导与拥有高等教育和行政认证的护士长之间存在正相关关系。
护理管理人员在招聘护士长时应考虑情商特征,并努力推进教育,使其与组织对护士长有效性所需的业务和战略要素的需求相一致。
