| Abstract | ||
| Background: Exploitative head nurses have a deep inside busy thinking of ways to achieve their personal goals through their nurses. These challenges create a hostile environment, reduce motivation, and inhibit work involvement, which may create a feeling of alienation at the workplace. Aim: This study aimed to assess the influence of head nurses’ exploitative leadership style on nurses' workplace alienation. Design: A descriptive-correlation research design was used. Setting: This study was conducted at Tanta Main University Hospital in all departments. Subjects: All nurses (1057) who were working in the previously mentioned settings. Tools: Two tools were used to collect data: head nurses' exploitative leadership, and a workplace alienation questionnaire. Results: The study's findings indicated that more than half of the studied nurses had a moderate perception level of exploitative leadership behaviors and workplace alienation. There were statistically positive correlations between the overall score of exploitative leadership dimensions and workplace alienation dimensions, except between under-challenging followers of exploitative leadership and powerlessness, meaninglessness dimensions, and total workplace alienation. Conclusion: The study found a strong and positive influence of nurses' perceptions of head nurses' exploitative leadership behaviors on their feelings of workplace alienation. Recommendations: Conducting continuous training programs related to new approaches to constructive leadership to improve professional behaviors as well as annually assessing the perceived level of nurses' workplace alienation | ||
