“…Organizations undertaking leadership development training could also benefit from research that analyzes pre-and post-training. With respect to the LPI survey instrument (Kouzes & Posner, 2013), Tourangeau and McGilton (2004) encouraged revision of the LPI to shorten its length for use in health care to relieve participant burden as well as decrease research costs. Subjectively, participants in this study commented on the length of the survey, and some participants did not complete the survey because they did not feel they had the time or could leave their work.…”

Abstract. The United States population is rapidly aging, and retaining direct care workers (DCWs) will continue to be a workforce concern for the industry in addressing the demand for long term care services. To date, scant literature exists that addresses the DCW perspective of leadership behaviors and their influence on organizational commitment. To respond to this deficiency, this research studied leadership behaviors of direct importance for DCWs at the immediate supervisor level, and provided empirical insight into organizational commitment among workers closest to patient care. Research on leader behaviors has focused on managerial and executive levels, with scant consideration in long term care at the lower hierarchical levels. Transformational leadership was hypothesized to have a significant positive relationship with organizational commitment, specifically affective and normative commitments, and a significant inverse relationship with continuance commitment. The quantitative correlational study explored the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational commitment among 322 direct care workers employed by nonprofit, multi-level long term care organizations located in the Midwest. Results revealed a statistically significant relationship between overall transformational leadership and organizational commitment as well as affective and normative commitment dimensions, with no significant relationship found between transformational leadership and continuance commitment. The study results are beneficial to industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers for addressing operational policies, leadership training, human resource practices, and workforce policy development. Operational policies should reflect the values of the organization and follow from a compelling, collective vision and mission. Human resources practices warrant review if not aligned with the vision, mission, and values. Leadership development training should be considered for continuing education for supervisors at all levels as well as for potential policy alternatives.

Objective: To develop clinical leadership among health professionals working in public sector organisations to improve their skills in ensuring high quality and safe health services. Methods:A longitudinal pre-post-intervention mixed methods study that included 60 health professionals working in one state in Australia. Results:The program was successful in the development of clinical leaders.Conclusions: An interdisciplinary, inter-sectoral leadership development program involving health professionals from metropolitan, regional and rural areas can be successful in developing knowledge, skills and competencies among these health professionals in health service quality and safety.Implications: Health professionals can participate in a development program to enhance their clinical leadership skills. While this was a post-qualification course, targeting experienced health professionals, the learnings could be applied to pre-qualification education of health professionals.

“…It has proven construct validity for groups in nursing, teaching, educational leadership, and law enforcement, despite significant changes in the business environment over the past decades [65][66][67][68][69][70]. Research on the leadership practices for a sample of Canadian women engineers revealed an ease with valuing relationships across cultures, disciplines, and the many domains business, health, and government that engineering touches [45].…”
