Abstract:
Background: Clinical leadership is vital in improving nurses' performance and healthcare services. Aim: This study examined the relationship between clinical leadership behaviors, flourishing, and extra-role behavior among nurses in Jordan. Methods: A descriptive correlational design was used, which enrolled a convenience sample of 260 registered nurses working at governmental hospitals in Jordan. Results: The mean score of clinical leadership behaviors was moderate (M = 138.01, SD = 7.82). Nurse flourishing had a mean total score of (M = 31.76, SD = 5.49), indicating positive well-being. Extra-role behavior had a mean score of (M = 23.96, SD = 3.93), indicating moderate participation in extra-role behaviors. There was a significant moderate positive correlation between clinical leadership behaviors and nurse flourishing (r = 0.489, p=0.047) and extra-role behaviors (r = 0.359, p=0.004). Factors that significantly predicted nurse flourishing and extra-role behavior were clinical leadership behaviors, age, duration of nursing experience, income, and hospital number of beds. Conclusion: Effective clinical leadership behaviors can significantly improve nurses' flourishing and extra-role behavior. Implication for Nursing Management: The results emphasize the importance of training nurses on positive leadership behaviors to enhance flourishing and involvement in extra-role behavior.
