“…Also, Abou Hashish (2015) reported that nurse managers were more likely to influence their subordinates with tactics of rational persuasion, inspirational appeal, and collaboration, whereas personal appeal and pressure were the least frequently utilized influence tactics. However, the results were inconsistent with Basaran and Duygulu (2015), who found that participants thought that positions gave them influential power. In this respect, we believe that all power bases and influence tactics are distinct and important, and we suggest that no single strategy is all beneficial in influencing nurses.…”

BackgroundHaving robust power sources and employing effective influence tactics are essential leadership skills for nurse managers in managing human resources, providing quality care, and managing workplace conflict among nurses.AimsThe present study aimed to investigate how bedside nurses perceived their nurse managers' power bases, influence tactics, and conflict management styles. Furthermore, the study investigated the relationship among power bases, influence tactics, and conflict management styles.MethodsA descriptive correlational study was conducted at the inpatient care unit of a Saudi hospital. A convenient sample of n = 230 nurses completed the Power Base scale, Influence Behavior Questionnaire (IBQ‐R), and Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory‐II (ROCI‐II).ResultsNurses believed their managers were most likely to use referent, legitimate, and expert sources to exercise their power; appreciation and consultation tactics to influence others; and an integrative style to manage conflict. Significant positive correlations were found between the perceived overall power bases and each of the influence behaviors and conflict management styles (r = .466, r = .383, p < .05, respectively). The values of the regression coefficient of power bases significantly contribute to the prediction of 67.8% and 42.2% of the explained variance of influence behaviors and conflict management styles, respectively. In addition, influence behaviors can play a mediating role in this prediction.Linking Evidence to ActionNurse managers should be able to demonstrate the benefit of controlling a wide range of power bases and know how to use influence behaviors and conflict management styles skillfully in each situation to achieve desired goals.

“…(25) The study by Bassaran et al also revealed that 44% of nurses believed they had organizational power and only 34% had legal and informative power. (26) The results of this study did not comply with the current study, which can be attributed to the cultural differences, differences in the power structure, the study method and the sample size. This is because Bassaran' study was conducted on Turkish nurses with a different culture than Iranian nurses and the sample size was also larger.…”

A B S T R A C T BACKGROUNDThe organizational power in nurses makes them function more professionally, increasing their job satisfaction. Hence, a good understanding of this issue can have a significant effect. We wanted to investigate the nurses' perception of organizational power in the paediatric wards. METHODSThis descriptive study was carried out in 2017 in the paediatric ward of Motahari Hospital in Urmia. A total of 175 nurses were recruited and studied using the organizational power questionnaire developed by Sieloff-King. Validity of the questionnaire was assessed using content validity, while its reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, which was 0.89. Pearson's correlation test was also carried out to determine the relationship between the demographic variables and nurses' perception of organizational power. RESULTSThe results showed that 52.52% of nurses had a good perception of organizational power, while overall perception of organizational power was 127.75 ± 17.99. As far as the items in the power subsets are concerned, the highest score was gained by role play and the position of the nursing group. The lowest score was also obtained by the resource and environmental factors. Furthermore, there was an inverse relationship between age and position subsets, and younger nurses had better perception of this issue. CONCLUSIONSBased on the results of this study, it is necessary to set the scene for nurses to get more acquainted with the organizational power and its effect on the quality of health care. It is also necessary to improve nurses' perception of the organizational power and the nursing frameworks and models as part of an appropriate approach.
