Paternalistic leadership training significantly improved nurse managers' leadership behaviors. This study demonstrates that such training is effective in developing essential leadership skills for nurse managers.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Management
- Leadership Studies
- Organizational Behavior
Background:
- Paternalistic leadership is recommended for nurse managers.
- Evidence for developing paternalistic leadership through training is lacking.
- This study addresses the gap in understanding training effectiveness.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine if paternalistic leadership training can enhance leadership behaviors in nurse managers.
- To evaluate the impact of targeted training on nurse managers' leadership styles.
- To provide empirical evidence on the efficacy of leadership development programs.
Main Methods:
- Randomized controlled trial with pretest-posttest design.
- Inclusion of a control group for comparative analysis.
- Sample size of 206 participants (101 experimental, 105 control).
Main Results:
- Significant increase in paternalistic leadership perceptions among nurses in the experimental group (p < .05).
- No significant change in paternalistic leadership perceptions in the control group (p > .05).
- Training demonstrated a measurable positive effect on leadership behavior.
Conclusions:
- Paternalistic leadership training is effective in developing desired leadership behaviors in nurse managers.
- Implementing such training programs is recommended for nursing leadership development.
- The findings support the use of structured training to enhance nurse manager effectiveness.
