Leadership, job satisfaction, and commitment

Leadership, job satisfaction and commitment are closely interrelated. Job
satisfaction and commitment are immediate antecedents of intention to leave the
workplace and turnover: the higher a nurses’ job satisfaction and commitment,
the lower their intention to leave. Among antecedents of job satisfaction and
commitment, leadership plays a central role, along with other human resource
management practices. Leadership is positively correlated with nurses’ job
satisfaction and with commitment towards the institution and its missions.

Do you think that nurses receive positive feedback from clinicians and management on a regular basis? I think that every nurse possess the desire to improve patient outcomes by delivering excellent nursing care and blossom with honest and positive comments.

There are many current articles suggesting leadership has a direct relationship on job satisfaction. I am glad to see this is an avenue you are pursuing.
