To explore the relationship between spiritual climate and transformational leadership, and examine their impact on nurses perceived emotional exhaustion and intentions to quit.
Transformational leadership is known to have a significant positive effect on work environment and job satisfaction. Additionally, promoting spiritual climate amongst staff can benefit workers by increasing self-worth. The relationship between the two is unknown.
Nurse clinicians from 2 sites in the Jiangsu Province of China completed self-report questionnaires based on spiritual climate, emotional exhaustion, clinical leadership and Turnover Intention Scales. Mediation analysis was applied to evaluate impact of spiritual climate.
Perceived positive spirituality amongst nurse clinicians reinforces transformational leadership to reduce emotional exhaustion (indirect effect of -0.089, p < .01). Burnout and intention to leave showed significantly positive correlation with lower levels of perceived spirituality (r = .545, p < .01).
Transformational leadership in the workplace can reduce nurses' burnout, and a positive spiritual climate increases meaningfulness in their work. This may help in nurse retention.
Health care leaders must look beyond transformational leadership to maintain a positive and supportive clinical climate, and this may involve acknowledgement of nurses' spiritual needs.
探讨精神氛围与变革型领导之间的关系，并考察它们对护士感知的情绪耗竭和离职意愿的影响。
变革型领导被认为对工作环境和工作满意度有显著的积极影响。此外，在员工中提倡精神氛围可以通过提高自我价值来使员工受益。两者之间的关系尚不清楚。
来自中国江苏省 2 个地点的护士临床医生完成了基于精神氛围、情绪耗竭、临床领导和离职意愿量表的自我报告问卷。采用中介分析评估精神氛围的影响。
护士临床医生感知到的积极精神氛围增强了变革型领导，从而减少了情绪耗竭（间接效应为-0.089，p<0.01）。倦怠和离职意愿与感知精神氛围水平较低呈显著正相关（r=0.545，p<0.01）。
工作场所的变革型领导可以减轻护士的倦怠感，积极的精神氛围增加了他们工作的意义。这可能有助于留住护士。
医疗保健领导者必须超越变革型领导，以维持积极和支持性的临床氛围，这可能涉及到对护士精神需求的认可。
