This study aimed to develop and psychometrically test the managerial competence scale for first-line nurse managers (FLNMs) in Indonesia. The scale was based on items derived from an integrative review and interviews with experts. A total of 300 FLNMs from 16 public hospitals were randomly selected for this test of psychometric properties. A principal component analysis generated seven dimensions with 43 items as a final scale, with overall Cronbach's α of .95 while the dimensions' Cronbach's α ranged from .71 to .90. The findings demonstrate that the scale is valid and reliable as a vehicle for assessment of managerial competence of FLNMs.

Knowing the perceptions of first-line nurse managers (FLNMs) regarding their managerial competence is an important step to resolve disparities between their perceived competence and the competencies required for them to effectively function in their roles. Yet, evidence examining managerial competence of FLNMs among public hospitals in Indonesia is sparse. To fill this gap, we conducted a cross-sectional study aimed to identify managerial competence of FLNMs according to hospital type and ownership. This study was conducted from January to May 2018 and included a convenience sample of 233 FLNMs selected from 13 public hospitals. We used the Indonesian-First-Line Nurse Managers Managerial Competence Scale (I-FLNMMCS) to measure managerial competence. Descriptive statistics, Kruskal–Wallis, and Dunn’s Pairwise were used for data analysis. Findings showed a significant difference in managerial competence according to the hospital type ( p < .05). The FLNMs with a Diploma III, those relatively older, in their position for 7 or more years, and with managerial training in Type A hospitals (larger hospitals) had the highest managerial competence. The FLNMs with a bachelor’s degree, those relatively younger, with less training, and those in their position for 3 to 4 years in Type B and C hospitals (smaller hospitals) had less managerial competence. A significant difference was also found in managerial competence according to hospital ownership ( p <.05). Public hospitals owned by the Ministry of Health of Indonesia had the highest competence among the others. This study is useful for guiding future policy work for human resource development in public hospitals.

Background Much research provides evidence that four age groups or generations of nurse managers exist, and it is assumed that they work and act differently according to each generation’s characteristics and attitudes, which may influence their managerial competence. Aims To compare first-line nurse managers’ managerial competence according to generational analysis across public hospitals in Indonesia. Methods This study employed a cross-sectional survey in 18 public hospitals in Indonesia with 254 first-line nurse managers selected using simple random sampling. The Indonesian First-Line Nurse Managers Managerial Competence Scale (IFLNMMCS) was used to measure managerial competence. Data were analysed using descriptive analyses using means, standard deviations and independent t-test. Results There was no significant difference in the total score of managerial competence of Generation X and Millennial first-line nurse managers ( p = 0.077). Of five dimensions of managerial competence, only applying quality care improvement ( p = 0.028) and financial management ( p = 0.013) were significantly different, while leadership ( p = 0.142), facilitating spiritual nursing care ( p = 0.353), self-management ( p = 0.130), staffing and professional development ( p = 0.068) and utilizing informatics ( p = 0.304) were not significantly different. Conclusion This study serves as a foundation for better human resource management, education and professional development for first-line nurse managers among public hospitals in Indonesia.

Abstract Objective First-line nurse managers are more likely to work according to gender beliefs and stereotypes, which may affect their managerial competence. This study is aimed at comparing managerial competence of male and female first-line nurse managers in public hospitals in Indonesia. Methods This study employed a descriptive comparative approach with a cross-sectional survey with a total of 256 participants selected from 18 public hospitals. To measure managerial competence, the managerial competence scale for Indonesian first-line nurse managers was used. Data were analyzed using descriptive analyses using mean, standard deviation, and Independent t-test. Results Managerial competence of male and female first-line nurse managers was not significantly different (P = 0.555). Female nurse managers descriptively reported/received higher ranking in facilitating spiritual nursing care, managing self, staffing and professional development, utilizing informatics, and applying quality care improvement. Male nurse managers reported higher in leadership and financial management. Conclusions Female and male first-line nurse managers should be treated equally for leadership and managerial development.
