Objectives:
To study the impact of quality of relationships with supervisors, operationalised as leader-member exchange (LMX), on work exhaustion among nurses working for a hospital in Oman.
Methods:
Data were collected from 229 nurses using a questionnaire.
Results:
LMX was found to be a significant negative correlate of work exhaustion directly, as well as beyond the controlled-for correlates of gender, organisation experience, occupation experience, education level, job satisfaction, occupation satisfaction and work interfering with family.
Conclusion:
A perceived higher quality work relationship with one's supervisor appears to have a significant impact on reducing perceived work exhaustion among nurses.
