Transformational Leadership Practices of Nurse Leaders in Professional Nursing Associations

Abstract

This is the 1st study to describe TL practices of nurse leaders in PNAs. Results of this study show that nurse leaders of PNAs emulate practices of TL. Transformational leaders can mobilize and direct association members in reaching shared values, objectives, and outcomes. Understanding TL practices of nurse leaders in PNAs are important to the future of nursing in order to enable nurses to lead change and advance health through these organizations.

Working in a storied way—Narrative‐based approaches to person‐centred care and practice development in older adult residential care settings

“…It is possible that this was due in part to the transactional style of leadership displayed by this manager. While there is evidence of differing leadership styles and their effect on culture (Martin, McCormack, Fitzsimons, & Spirig, ; Ross, Fitzpatrick, Click, Krouse, & Clavelle, ; Solman & FitzGerald, ), there is no literature that provides guidance for novice researchers on how to work with differing leadership styles within a PAR initiative.…”

Liderança e satisfação no trabalho da enfermagem: revisão integrativa

“…(12) The point of convergence among the three U.S. surveys was that transformational leadership corresponded to a leadership model that provided an approach to promoting organizational and personal change. (24) The situational leadership framwork was used in both the work developed by the Portuguese authors (20) and the research developed in Chile. (22) In the latter article, the authors pointed out that it is important to note that, as proposed by the situational leadership model, there is a style of leadership that is more appropriate for certain situations.…”

“…In addition, the instrument has high internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and high reliability of specific subscales. (24) The Authentic Leadership Questionnaire presents a 16-item scale divided into four subscales that reflect the components of authentic leadership: relational transparency, moral perspective, balanced processing, and self-awareness. The responses are measured on a five-point Likert scale of 0 to 4 points; the highest scores reflect more authentic leadership.…”

Association Development and Professional Transformation model for nurse leaders

“…It is used to analyse engagement in leadership behaviours. This tool was designed to measure the development of leadership skills related to “modelling the way,” inspiring a shared vision, challenging the process, enabling others to act, and “encouraging the heart.” The LPI‐S has sound psychometric properties, showing good validity and reliability, with Cronbach's alpha scores of 0.70–0.84 and a test reliability of 0.93–0.95 (Ross, Fitzpatrick, Click, Crouse, & Clavelle, ). The LPI‐S is based on a ten‐point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (“almost never do…”) to 10 (“almost always do…”), and consists of 30‐items divided into five subscales or behaviour sets with six statements per subscale.…”
