| Summary: | As health care organizations attempt to redesign their traditional models, nurse managers will require a leadership style that supports staff involvement, accountability, and job satisfaction. The purpose of this descriptive correlational study was to identify the management styles of front-line nurse managers as perceived by staff and evaluate their relationship to staff nurse job satisfaction. A survey of approximately 500 staff nurses working on 9 different units in an acute care hospital was conducted. The Profile of Organization Characteristics (Likert, 1976) was used to identify the perceived management style and the Munson-Heda (1974) tool to evaluate job satisfaction. Data was analyzed utilizing the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, standard deviations, and means. A strong positive relationship was found between management style and job satisfaction (r = 0.584, p < 0.001). The closer the manager's score to a more participative style, the more job satisfaction was reported by the staff nurses. |
