| Abstract | ||
| Background: Appreciative leadership is recognized as one of the most effective leadership styles in fostering a supportive work environment and enhancing staff engagement, particularly in healthcare settings. It emphasizes trust, communication, and recognizing the contributions of team members, all of which play a critical role in improving nurse performance and patient care outcomes. Aim: This study aimed to assess the relationship between appreciative leadership and work engagement among staff nurses. Research Design: A descriptive correlational research design was utilized in this study. Setting: The study was conducted at Andalusia Maadi Hospital, Cairo, Egypt. Sample: A convenience sample of 120 staff nurses working in various departments and providing direct patient care was included in the study. Tools: Two tools were used in the data collection process: the Appreciative Leadership scale and the Work Engagement Scale. Results: The study revealed that more than half of the studied staff nurses perceived a high level of appreciative leadership in their managers (78.3%), and also the majority of them demonstrated a high level of work engagement (83.3%). Conclusion: The current study concluded that there was a statistically significant positive correlation between appreciative leadership and work engagement among staff nurses. Recommendations: In the light of study findings, the researcher recommended that hospitals should establish recognition systems that formally acknowledge nurses’ efforts and achievements to boost morale and engagement. | ||
