Abstract:
This study was aimed at identifying the correspondence of opinions between nurses in surgical centers and the nursing team regarding the leadership style exercised by nurses and the leadership style these professionals should adopt in relation to the maturity level of their subordinates. Situational Leadership was adopted as a theoretical reference framework. We elaborated instruments that were submitted to appearance and content validation and then applied them to 15 nurses, two technicians and 13 nursing auxiliaries. The results showed that the most frequent leadership style among nurses was E3 (to share). With respect to the leadership style nurses should adopt in relation to the maturity level of their subordinates in view of the activities in the operating room, style E4 (to delegate) predominated, which suggests that the studied subordinates present a high maturity level (M4).
