The argument about whether leadership style affects nurses' job satisfaction is centered around the impact of different leadership styles on the work environment and the quality of care provided by nurses. Therefore, this review was primarily aimed at assessing the impact of transformational leadership style on the job satisfaction of hospital nurses.
This is an integrative review conducted according to the Whittemore and Knafl's framework. Comprehensive literature searches were conducted in PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, Research4Life, and APA PsychInfo. In addition, studies were included through hand-searching from different sources of grey literature and a reference list of identified articles. All English articles published between 2012 and 2023 reporting the impact of transformational leadership style on nurses' job satisfaction were eligible for inclusion.
Seventeen articles were included in the review, of which 16 were cross-sectional studies, while one was mixed. The majority ( = 12) of the studies were conducted in at least two or more healthcare settings, with a total of 5841 nurses. Almost all ( = 16) articles reported the positive influence of transformational leadership on nurses' job satisfaction. In addition, the transformational leadership style was reported to have a positive impact on nurses' intentions to stay at work, quality care, and patient outcomes.
By adopting a transformational leadership approach within clinical environments, there is a potential to boost nurses' job satisfaction.
关于领导风格是否会影响护士工作满意度的争论主要集中在不同领导风格对工作环境以及护士所提供护理质量的影响上。因此,本综述主要旨在评估变革型领导风格对医院护士工作满意度的影响。
这是一项根据惠特莫尔和克纳夫框架进行的综合综述。在PubMed、MEDLINE、CINAHL、科学网、Research4Life和美国心理学会心理学文摘数据库中进行了全面的文献检索。此外,还通过手工检索不同来源的灰色文献以及已识别文章的参考文献列表纳入研究。2012年至2023年期间发表的所有报道变革型领导风格对护士工作满意度影响的英文文章均符合纳入标准。
该综述纳入了17篇文章,其中16篇为横断面研究,1篇为混合研究。大多数(=12)研究在至少两个或更多医疗环境中进行,共有5841名护士参与。几乎所有(=16)文章都报道了变革型领导对护士工作满意度的积极影响。此外,变革型领导风格还被报道对护士的工作意愿、护理质量和患者结局有积极影响。
在临床环境中采用变革型领导方法有可能提高护士的工作满意度。
