Area of Science:
- Healthcare Management
- Nursing Leadership
- Organizational Behavior
Background:
- Nurse managers (NMs) hold multifaceted roles with 24-hour unit accountability.
- Transformational leadership enhances performance and organizational commitment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare self-perceptions of leadership practices among NMs, day shift nurses, and night shift nurses (NSNs).
Main Methods:
- Secondary data analysis of the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) 2018.
- Comparative study design.
Main Results:
- NMs reported higher self-perceptions of leadership practices than both day and night shift nurses.
- All groups (NMs, day shift, and NSNs) scored highest in the leadership practice of "enable others to act".
Conclusions:
- LPI data and visualization supported leadership development planning.
- Further research on perception differences across observer groups, especially staff nurses, is recommended.
