Abstract | ||||
Background: Actual leadership is vital for each organization, and leadership behavior is an essential variable that has significant influence on the success of any organization. Staff nurses with higher perception of leadership behavior, social intelligence, and job involvement are motivated, display good performances at work, and devote themselves to their work and organization. Aim:This study was designed to explore the effects of head nurses’ leadership behaviors and social intelligence on staff nurses’ job involvement. Design:A descriptive correlational design was adopted. Setting: This study involved a convenience sample of 256 staff nurses who were responsible for providing nursing care for patients at the Main Mansoura University Hospital. Tool:Data were collected using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ), Social Intelligence Questionnaire, and Work Involvement Scale. Results:Most staff nurses had a moderate level of leadership style, social intelligence, and job involvement. A statistically significant positive relationship was observed between nurses’ insight of social intelligence and transformational style. Moreover,leadership outcomes have a statistically significant relationship with social intelligence. Conclusion:Nurses, who have good leadership style, will have higher social intelligence and be more involved in their work. Recommendations:Workshops and training programs should be provided in areas concerned with social behavior at work to increase the consciousness of nurses on how to grow their social intelligence and job involvement. | ||||
