Summary
Paternalistic leadership positively impacts nurse performance, with self-efficacy acting as a key mediator. Power distance further enhances this relationship in high-power-distance cultures like China.
Area of Science:
- Organizational Behavior
- Healthcare Management
- Psychology
Background:
- Investigates the influence of paternalistic leadership on nursing performance.
- Examines self-efficacy as a mediator and power distance as a moderator in this relationship.
- Focuses on the context of nursing in China.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the direct effect of paternalistic leadership on nurse performance.
- To assess the mediating role of self-efficacy in the leadership-performance link.
- To explore the moderating influence of power distance on this association.
Main Methods:
- Quantitative, survey-based research with a dyadic approach.
- Data collected from 315 Chinese nurses and their supervisors.
- Statistical analyses including Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and regression using AMOS 22 and SPSS 22.
Main Results:
- Paternalistic leadership demonstrates a significant positive impact on nurse performance.
- Self-efficacy significantly mediates the relationship between paternalistic leadership and performance.
- Power distance acts as a moderator, strengthening the mediated effect in high-power-distance contexts.
Conclusions:
- Paternalistic leadership is beneficial for enhancing nurse performance.
- Self-efficacy adequately explains the mechanism linking paternalistic leadership to nursing outcomes.
- The findings highlight the crucial role of power distance in understanding leadership effectiveness in diverse cultural settings.
