To investigate the impact of leadership behaviours of nurse managers and organizational culture on Jordanian nurses' intention to stay at work in public, private and university hospitals.
Leadership behaviours of nurses and organizational culture are considered important factors in enhancing retention of nurses.
A correlational design was used in the study. A sample of 285 Jordanian nurses was conveniently selected to complete a self-administered questionnaire that consisted of three measures; Kouzes and Posner's Leadership Practise Inventory, Professional Organizational Culture questionnaire and McCain's Intent to Stay Scale.
Nurse managers' leadership behaviours and organizational culture were positively associated with the level of intention to stay at work. The study variables explained almost 43% of the variance in nurses' intention to stay at work.
The limitation of the study was the use of convenience sampling method.
The results asserted that transformational leadership styles of nurse managers enhance positive hospitals' culture as well as the intention of nurses to stay at work.
Nurse executives should promote leadership behaviours of nurse managers through training. The regulatory bodies of nursing profession in collaboration with nurse educators and administrators should help in developing competencies for nurse managers that are based on transformational leadership and incorporate such competencies in nursing education programs as well as continuous education programs.
调查护士长领导行为和组织文化对约旦公立、私立和大学医院护士工作留职意愿的影响。
护士的领导行为和组织文化被认为是增强护士留职率的重要因素。
本研究采用相关性设计。方便选取 285 名约旦护士完成一份自我管理问卷，该问卷由三个部分组成：库泽斯和波斯纳的领导实践清单、专业组织文化问卷和麦凯恩的留职意愿量表。
护士长的领导行为和组织文化与工作留职意愿呈正相关。研究变量解释了护士留职意愿的近 43%。
本研究的局限性在于使用了便利抽样方法。
研究结果表明，护士长的变革型领导风格能增强积极的医院文化以及护士的工作留职意愿。
护理管理人员应通过培训来促进护士长的领导行为。护理行业的监管机构应与护理教育者和管理人员合作，帮助护士长发展基于变革型领导的能力，并将这些能力纳入护理教育计划和继续教育计划中。
