However, existing evidence remains fragmented, and the magnitude of this relationship across different health system contexts has not been quantitatively synthesised.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the association between leadership styles and nurses' levels of psychological empowerment and to assess whether this relationship varies according to countries' level of development.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The study was carried out in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews.
