The aim of this study is to describe primary care nurses' perceptions of their formal leaders' leadership behaviours and outcomes and explore differences based upon nurses' individual and work setting characteristics.
Formal nursing leadership is positively associated with patient, nurse workforce and organizational outcomes, yet no studies have examined primary care nurses' perception of formal leadership behaviours and outcomes in the United States.
Cross-sectional survey data from 335 primary care nurses were analysed to assess perceived leadership behaviours associated with transformational, transactional and passive-avoidant leadership styles, perceived leadership outcomes and individual and work setting characteristics.
Positive leadership behaviours (transformational) were lower than those reported for other settings. There were significant differences in nurses' perceptions of their leaders' leadership behaviours and outcomes based upon individual and work setting characteristics.
This study confirmed differences in perception of leadership and that individual and work setting characteristics influence nurses' perception of their leaders in primary care.
Leaders must be versatile and consider the unique needs of each staff member and the influence of clinic characteristics.
本研究旨在描述初级保健护士对其正式领导的领导行为和结果的看法，并基于护士的个人和工作环境特征探讨差异。
正式的护理领导与患者、护士劳动力和组织结果呈正相关，但尚无研究在美国考察初级保健护士对正式领导行为和结果的看法。
对 335 名初级保健护士的横断面调查数据进行分析，以评估与变革型、交易型和被动回避型领导风格相关的感知领导行为、感知领导结果以及个人和工作环境特征。
积极的领导行为（变革型）低于其他环境中报告的水平。护士对领导的领导行为和结果的看法因个人和工作环境特征而异。
本研究证实了对领导的看法存在差异，并且个人和工作环境特征会影响护士对初级保健中领导的看法。
领导者必须多才多艺，考虑每位员工的独特需求以及诊所特征的影响。
