Abstract
Leaders play a key role in shaping positive work environments and consequently have important effects on organizational success by contrasting stressful working conditions, by discouraging negative interpersonal experiences and outcomes such as bullying and burnout and by promoting employee engagement and retention. This study examine the relationship of authentic leadership and new graduate nurses experiences of workplace bullying and burnout, and subsequently, job and career turnover intentions over a one year timeframe in Canadian healthcare settings. Results of a structural equations model on 205 new graduate nurses working in acute care settings in Ontario (95% women) provide support for the hypothesized model linking immediate supervisor’s authentic leadership to work-related bullying and burnout, and ultimately job and career turnover intentions. Thus the more leaders were perceived to be authentic the less likely nurses’ were to experience work-related bullying and subsequent burnout and the less they were to have the intention to leave their job and career. The results highlighted the important role of leadership in preventing negative employee and organisational outcomes.
