Background: Effective leadership style directs nursing practice to perform the highest standard of care, support evidence-based practice, and maintain high quality of care. Nursing managers' leadership styles, and its association with staff nurses’ motivation and turnover intention had been the subject of several previous studies that were interested in investigating the association between these concepts. However, the ambiguity about the nature of relationship between nursing managers' leadership styles, staff nurses’ motivation and turnover intention still not explored enough in the Jordanian health care sector.
Purpose: To identify the most frequent leadership styles utilized by nurse managers from the perspective of nurses, and to examine the relationship between these leadership styles and nurses' motivation and turnover intentions.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. Convenience sampling technique was employed to select the required sample who will meet the inclusion criteria. A total number of 170 registered nurses who are working in the private hospitals in Jordan was included in the study. Self-reported questionnaires were sent online by WhatsApp to the targeted participants.
Results: The supportive leadership style was the most commonly used style as perceived by the staff nurses (30.6%). The mean of work motivation among nurses was (87.12), and mean turnover intention was (22.01). Nurses' motivation has positive correlation with all leadership styles, and the highest correlation was with the achievement oriented style (r= 0.46, p< 0.001). Among the socio-demographics and work-related factors; only years of experience was able to predict the nurses' work motivation, and none of them was able to predict the turnover intention. Among the leadership styles; two of them were being able to significantly predict nurses’ work motivation (supportive style) p< 0.001, and (achievement oriented style) p< 0.001.
