To explore the association between the leadership styles and resilience of anesthetists in leadership roles.
This prospective study of all anesthetists in leadership roles within a university teaching hospital in Melbourne, Australia, employed three validated, anonymous questionnaires (Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire, Authentic Leadership Questionnaire, and the Resilience Scale). Questionnaire data were summarized using descriptive statistics and presented as counts and proportions. Spearman's rank correlation was used to evaluate quantitative continuous variables to identify linear relationships.
Of the 14 anesthetists in leadership roles, 14 completed all three questionnaires (response rate 100%). Ten participants (71.5%) displayed behaviors consistent with transformational leadership. Three participants (21.4%) displayed behaviors typically associated with transactional leadership, and one (7.1%) exhibited characteristics consistent with passive-avoidant leadership. Anesthetists with transformational leadership styles exhibited significantly higher resilience scores than those with transactional or passive-avoidant leadership styles. Those with transformational leadership qualities also had increased job satisfaction overall.
Anesthetists who exhibit transformational and authentic leadership are likely to be more resilient than those with transactional or passive-avoidant leadership styles. Higher levels of resilience were also associated with greater role effectiveness and experiencing greater levels of job satisfaction.
探讨担任领导职务的麻醉医生的领导风格与心理韧性之间的关联。
本前瞻性研究针对澳大利亚墨尔本一家大学教学医院中所有担任领导职务的麻醉医生，采用了三份经过验证的匿名问卷（多因素领导问卷、真实领导问卷和心理韧性量表）。问卷数据使用描述性统计进行汇总，并以计数和比例的形式呈现。使用斯皮尔曼等级相关性来评估定量连续变量，以确定线性关系。
在14名担任领导职务的麻醉医生中，14人完成了所有三份问卷（回复率100%）。10名参与者（71.5%）表现出与变革型领导一致的行为。3名参与者（21.4%）表现出通常与交易型领导相关的行为，1名（7.1%）表现出与被动回避型领导一致的特征。具有变革型领导风格的麻醉医生的心理韧性得分显著高于具有交易型或被动回避型领导风格的医生。具有变革型领导特质的人总体工作满意度也更高。
表现出变革型和真实领导风格的麻醉医生可能比具有交易型或被动回避型领导风格的医生更具心理韧性。更高水平的心理韧性还与更高的角色效能感和更高的工作满意度相关。
