This study explores the association between diplomatic leadership, organizational health, and workplace happiness among nurses.
The internal work environment of organizations plays a crucial role in addressing challenges induced by external environmental factors, requiring adaptation strategies to address global issues to cope with their widespread impact. The relationship between the internal work environment and the ability of organizations to manage external pressures has been underexplored.
This descriptive correlational study involved 323 nurses. Data collection instruments included a demographic questionnaire, the diplomatic leadership scale, the happiness at work scale, and the organizational health scale. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 26.0 (IBM Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).
There was a statistically significant relationship between organizational health and diplomatic leadership and nurse happiness at work and also between diplomatic leadership and happiness at work. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant indirect effect of organizational health on nurse happiness at work when the diplomatic leadership acts as a mediator variable. Also, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between diplomatic leadership and nurse happiness and organizational health at work.
CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING AND/OR HEALTH POLICY: The research findings offer valuable insights for hospital administrators and nursing managers, highlighting the importance of utilizing diplomatic strategies to address workplace challenges and contribute to policy development at both national and international levels. These results emphasize the need for policymakers to sustain focus on strategic initiatives that promote diplomatic leadership as a forward-thinking administrative approach. To support this direction, healthcare organizations should adopt and implement dedicated training programs that enhance diplomatic leadership competencies. These programs should aim to continuously develop the leadership skills of nursing managers while aligning their capabilities with the evolving demands of the healthcare environment.
本研究探讨护士群体中外交式领导、组织健康与工作场所幸福感之间的关联。
组织的内部工作环境在应对外部环境因素引发的挑战方面发挥着关键作用，需要采用适应策略来应对全球性问题，以应对其广泛影响。内部工作环境与组织管理外部压力能力之间的关系尚未得到充分探讨。
本描述性相关性研究纳入了323名护士。数据收集工具包括一份人口统计学调查问卷、外交式领导量表、工作幸福感量表和组织健康量表。使用SPSS 26.0版（美国伊利诺伊州芝加哥市IBM公司）进行统计分析。
组织健康与外交式领导以及护士工作幸福感之间存在统计学上的显著关系，外交式领导与工作幸福感之间也存在这种关系。此外，当外交式领导作为中介变量时，组织健康对护士工作幸福感存在统计学上的显著间接效应。而且，外交式领导与护士工作幸福感和组织健康之间存在统计学上的显著正相关。
结论及对护理和/或卫生政策的启示：研究结果为医院管理人员和护理管理者提供了有价值的见解，突出了运用外交策略应对工作场所挑战以及为国家和国际层面的政策制定做出贡献的重要性。这些结果强调政策制定者需要持续关注促进外交式领导这一前瞻性管理方法的战略举措。为支持这一方向，医疗保健组织应采用并实施专门的培训项目，以提高外交式领导能力。这些项目应旨在持续发展护理管理者的领导技能，同时使其能力与不断变化的医疗保健环境需求相匹配。
