從衛生福利部委託中華民國護理師護士公會全國聯合會(以下簡稱全聯會)的留任計畫「護理人員願意投入、重返和留任護理職場的工作條件和彈性制度之探討」結果顯示,護理人員需要的工作條件多與彈性有關,其中項目最多的是「領導彈性」,本篇即以領導為主軸,簡要介紹目前最被推崇的轉換型領導、交易型領導和真誠領導之領導行為、員工表現及其領導效能,並繪製成圖,希望護理領導者能以真誠領導者為典範,再聯結運用轉換型領導和交易型領導於個別護理人員的領導上,期待所有的護理主管都能成功扮演轉換型、交易型和真誠的領導者,以激發護理人員的工作熱誠和滿足對護理專業發展成為幸福專業的期待,使能樂意繼續留在護理職場上,為守護全民健康而努力。
The results of the Ministry of Health and Welfare commissioned research "The plan of retention strategies for nurses," indicated that nurses need flexibility in work conditions, especially in leadership. This article addresses three leadership styles: transformational, transactional and authentic leadership, and connects the leader behavior, staff performance and leadership effectiveness. A map is drawn to illustrate these relationships. A model nurse leader is an authentic leader who combines transformational and transactional leaderships to provide individualized leadership style to each staff. The successful transformation of nurse leaders into a combination of these three leadership styles will inspire the staff's enthusiasm toward work, job satisfaction and positive professional outlook. Nurses' genuine willingness to stay in their trained profession will guard the health of all citizens.
