The aim of this study was to investigate staff nurses' perception of their nurse managers' transformational leadership behaviors and their own structural empowerment.
Transformational leadership behaviors in nurse managers have been linked to increased staff nurse satisfaction and decreased turnover and burnout. Perception of nurse managers' leadership behaviors by staff nurses and the relationship to the staff nurses' structural empowerment is important to advance our understanding of the leadership role of nurse managers.
A descriptive correlational design was used to examine the relationship between staff nurses' perception of their nurse managers' transformational leadership behaviors and their own structural empowerment. Staff nurses at a conference were offered an opportunity to participate in the study.
The transformational leadership behaviors of nurse managers were moderately correlated to staff nurses' structural empowerment. Transactional leadership behaviors were associated with staff nurses' structural empowerment to a lesser degree.
Nurses who perceived their nurse managers as demonstrating transformational leadership behaviors experienced higher structural empowerment.
本研究旨在调查注册护士对其护士长变革型领导行为以及自身结构赋权的认知。
护士长的变革型领导行为与注册护士满意度提高、离职率及职业倦怠降低相关。注册护士对护士长领导行为的认知以及与注册护士结构赋权的关系，对于深化我们对护士长领导角色的理解很重要。
采用描述性相关性设计，以检验注册护士对其护士长变革型领导行为的认知与自身结构赋权之间的关系。会议上的注册护士有机会参与本研究。
护士长的变革型领导行为与注册护士的结构赋权呈中度相关。交易型领导行为与注册护士的结构赋权的关联程度较低。
认为其护士长展现出变革型领导行为的护士，其结构赋权程度更高。
