Transformational Leadership Style

Background Although there are many healthcare leaders and an ongoing quality programme in the national healthcare system in Kuwait, study of the relationship of leadership style to organisational culture and quality of care is lacking. Methods We report a multi-centre study that used cross-sectional and retrospective quantitative approaches in the government-sponsored secondary care setting in Kuwait. A sample of 1,626 was drawn from a frame of 9,863 physicians, nurses, and pharmacists in 6 general hospitals. Followers were surveyed using the Multifactor Leadership and the Organizational Description Questionnaires. We reviewed and analysed the past one year of quarterly and annual quality indicators of the studied hospitals. Data were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 15.0. Results According to followers, 66.4% to 87.1% of participants in the six hospitals identified their hospital organisational culture as transformational, while 41 out of 48 departments were identified as having a transformational culture. The participants who rated their leader and organisational culture as transformational ranged from 60.5% to 80.4% in different hospitals, and 8.5% of participants in only 1 hospital scored their leader as transformational and their culture as transactional. The differences between leadership style and organizational culture were statistically significant for four hospitals. Regarding the quality indicators, there was an indirect non-significant correlation between a transformational leadership style and most hospitals' indicators. Conclusions Transformational leaders are definers and givers of culture. The prevailing transformational leadership style creates and maintains the kind of transformational organisational culture. Our work here indicates how a given leadership style affects statistics of indicators that reflect the quality of care delivery observed in hospitals. However, this relationship is statistically insignificant. This relationship needs further research.

Background Nurses need to exhibit stronger leadership by taking more responsibility and accountability to improve healthcare quality and patient safety. Aims The aim of this study was to determine the association between quality of care and leadership styles and practices, and whether the characteristics of nurses influence this interaction. Methods We conducted a multicentre cross-sectional survey of 655 nurses working on clinical wards in Dutch university medical centres in 2018. Results Transformational leadership was significantly associated with quality of care which explained 5.9% of the total variance ( R2 = 0.059 F = (11,643) = 3.726, p = 0.011), and the nurse characteristics gender, profession and type of practice area were significant influencing factors. Nurses rated the quality of care (mean (M) = 7.7, standard deviation (SD) = 1.3) as moderate and they showed moderate levels of transformational leadership style (M = 3.7, SD = 0.5) and transformational leadership practices (M ≥ 6.2 and ≤ 7.6). Conclusions When considering quality improvement on clinical wards strategic managers need to be aware of the fact that leadership is associated with quality of care and that nurse characteristics influence this association. The findings indicate a pressing need for education and training for nurses in how to develop leadership and raising the awareness among strategic managers about the importance of leadership in health care is recommended.

Abstract Background Leadership and quality of services have been linked together, where both influence each other in a significant manner. Effective leadership in the field of healthcare has attracted research attention over the last few years. One of the key areas of focus by the Cameroon government, which is believed to better the country's health care sector, has been the quality of leadership. Claims have been made that the most effective way of achieving high-quality service delivery would be through strong leadership. On the other hand, the strength of the leadership within an organization was linked to the type of leadership style adopted by the organization. Therefore, it is paramount that research is conducted to assess the link between the type of leadership style and the quality of services among health workers. Methods The study used a descriptive research design with a simple random size of 150 health workers of the CBCHS. Data were collected using closed-ended questions and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics™ Version 20. Inferential statistics were used to determine the effects of leadership style on the performance of health workers. The mean comparison of quality scores across the different types of leadership styles was using One Way ANOVA. Results The most common leadership style among the hospitals of the CBCHS is the transformational leadership style followed by task-focused, person-focused, transactional, and passive-laissez-faire. Transformational leadership style was associated with higher scores for maintaining good public relations and customer care than other leadership styles. The effect of leadership styles on the quality of work was not confirmed as the results were not statistically significant. Conclusion Leadership styles play a critical role in improving the quality of work in healthcare settings. Health-related outcomes differ from one setting to another based on the different leadership styles. Although the effect of leadership style on the quality of work was not statistically significant, further studies should explore the role of leadership in influencing other organizational parameters such as motivation and quality of care expectations.
