Abstract:
The levels of burnout nurses experience continue to increase with resultant negative impacts on the nursing work environment, patient outcomes, and the retention of qualified nurses. Nurse leaders are essential in developing and fostering positive work environments that retain an empowered and motivated workforce. Research indicates that positive and relational leadership styles can improve nurses' job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and retention while concurrently reducing emotional exhaustion and burnout.
