Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine how nurse managers’ leadership styles, work engagement, and nurses’ organizational commitment are related in Saudi Arabia. Methods This study used a cross-sectional design using an online survey instrument targeted at nurse managers and nurses working in Saudi Arabian hospitals. Multi-factor leadership questionnaire (MLQ), organizational commitment questionnaire (OCQ), and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) were used in the Questionnaire. The survey link is forwarded to HR administrators of 71 hospitals, which includes public, private, and public–private partnership hospitals. The survey link was active from 27th November 2021 to 18th December 2021, and at the end of the survey, 394 responses were received. After removing the incomplete responses, 390 participant responses are considered for data analysis. t-tests and correlation analysis are used to analyze the data. Results Among the participants, 84.4% of the participants were nurses and 15.6% were nurse managers. Significant difference (p < 0.05) of opinions is observed among nurse managers in relation to transformational and transactional leadership styles and engagement. Transformational and transactional leaderships are positively correlated with organizational commitment and nurses’ engagement. Conclusion Differences in leadership style perceptions among nurses and nurse managers reflected issues in nursing management, which have to be addressed in light of rapid infrastructural changes owing to Saudi vision 2030.

沙特阿拉伯医院护士的领导风格、工作投入与组织承诺

本文的目的是研究沙特阿拉伯护士管理者的领导风格、工作投入和护士组织承诺之间的关系。方法本研究采用横断面设计，使用在线调查工具，针对在沙特阿拉伯医院工作的护士管理人员和护士。问卷采用多因素领导力问卷(MLQ)、组织承诺问卷(OCQ)和乌得勒支工作投入量表(UWES)。调查链接转发给71家医院的人力资源管理人员，其中包括公立医院、私立医院和公私合作医院。调查链接于2021年11月27日至2021年12月18日活跃，在调查结束时，收到了394份回复。在剔除不完整的回答后，390个参与者的回答被考虑用于数据分析。使用t检验和相关分析对数据进行分析。结果参与调查的护士占84.4%，护士管理人员占15.6%。在变革型领导风格和交易型领导风格与敬业度方面，护理管理者的意见差异有统计学意义(p < 0.05)。变革型领导和交易型领导与组织承诺和护士敬业度正相关。护士和护士管理者对领导风格的认知差异反映了护理管理中的问题，鉴于沙特2030年愿景导致的基础设施快速变化，这些问题必须得到解决。
