Effective leadership is one of the most important factors contributing to an organization's effectiveness and success. The objective of this study is to identify the leadership styles of primary healthcare managers and explore associated sociodemographic factors.
A cross-sectional study was conducted at Prince Sultan Military Medical City (PSMMC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, among primary healthcare managers in different aspects of 6 primary healthcare centers (PHC). Data were collected using a self-assessment questionnaire composed of two main sections: sociodemographic characteristics of the participants and the emotional intelligence questionnaire to assess the various competencies of emotional intelligence of leadership style.
A total of 50 primary healthcare managers were included in the study. Approximately half of them (52%) were aged between 35 and 44 years. The highest applied statement was "I know when I am happy (4.42±0.95)", whereas the lowest applied statement was "I rarely worry about work or life in general (3.20±1.26)". Self-awareness was considered a strength in most of the participants (78%), while, managing emotions needs attention in 52% of them. Intrinsic motivating, empathy, and social skill were considered strengths in most of the participants (70%, 74%, and 68%, respectively). Participants aged (25-34 years) were more likely than others to need attention in the component of "intrinsic motivating" (31.6%), p=0.053. Single participants were more likely than married participants to need attention in the component of "intrinsic motivating" (70% versus 18.4%). P=0.006. Nurses, pharmacists and radiologists were more likely to need attention in the component of "self-awareness" than doctors and directors, p = 0.041.
This study highlights the significance of emotional intelligence components, such as self-awareness, empathy, and social skills, as strengths among primary healthcare managers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The findings emphasize that enhancing emotional intelligence is essential for fostering effective leadership within primary healthcare sitting.
有效的领导力是影响组织效能和成功的最重要因素之一。本研究的目的是确定基层医疗管理者的领导风格，并探索相关的社会人口学因素。
在沙特阿拉伯利雅得的苏丹王子军事医疗城（PSMMC）对6个基层医疗中心（PHC）不同方面的基层医疗管理者进行了一项横断面研究。使用一份自我评估问卷收集数据，该问卷由两个主要部分组成：参与者的社会人口学特征和用于评估领导风格情商各种能力的情商量表。
本研究共纳入50名基层医疗管理者。其中约一半（52%）年龄在35至44岁之间。应用频率最高的表述是“我知道自己何时开心（4.42±0.95）”，而应用频率最低的表述是“我很少总体上担心工作或生活（3.20±1.26）”。大多数参与者（78%）认为自我意识是一项优势，而52%的参与者在情绪管理方面需要关注。大多数参与者（分别为70%、74%和68%）认为内在激励、同理心和社交技能是优势。年龄在（25 - 34岁）的参与者在“内在激励”方面比其他人更需要关注（31.6%），p = 0.053。单身参与者在“内在激励”方面比已婚参与者更需要关注（70%对18.4%），p = 0.006。护士、药剂师和放射科医生在“自我意识”方面比医生和主任更需要关注，p = 0.041。
本研究强调了情商组成部分，如自我意识、同理心和社交技能，在沙特阿拉伯利雅得基层医疗管理者中的优势地位。研究结果强调，提高情商对于在基层医疗环境中培养有效的领导力至关重要。
