The Effect of Transformational Leadership on Crisis Management at Al-Thawra General Hospital Authority, Hodeidah Governorate, Republic of Yemen

This study aimed to investigate the impact of transformational leadership on crisis management at Al-Thawra General Hospital Authority in Hodeidah. It also explored potential variations in crisis management perception based on employee demographics (gender, qualification, job title, and experience). A descriptive analytical approach was employed. The target population consisted of all Al-Thawra Hospital employees (n=1362). A sample of 300 individuals (22%) was selected. A pilot study (n=30) assessed validity and reliability before main data collection. Data analysis using SPSS revealed a significant positive impact of transformational leadership dimensions on crisis management. Besides, during a crisis, male employees exhibited higher confidence in crisis response compared to females. Additionally, employees with less than five years of experience displayed a stronger perception of their ability to contribute to crisis management across various phases. Based on these findings, the study recommends that Al-Thawra leadership prioritize the development of transformational leadership skills and implement a comprehensive crisis management plan encompassing all crisis stages.

Transformational Leadership, Secondary Traumatic Stress, and Burnout of Child Welfare Workers: Multilevel Moderation Effects.

This study examines the moderating effects of distant leader's practice of transformational leadership on the relationship between secondary traumatic stress (STS) and burnout among child welfare workers. Caseworkers and supervisors in a Midwest U.S. state (N = 210) rated their regional director's use of transformational leadership skills using a survey. Given the nature of the clustered data, multilevel modeling was employed to examine the main effects of transformational leadership on worker burnout and its cross-level interaction effect on the association between worker STS and burnout. Multilevel modeling demonstrated that worker burnout was positively associated with STS and negatively associated with organizational-level transformational leadership. The cross-level interaction between transformational leadership and STS was significant. Specifically, the positive association between workers' STS and burnout decreased as transformational leadership increased. These findings suggest that organizational approaches such as transformational leadership can influence workforce results. Further research will guide child welfare policymakers to develop more sophisticated training programs in leadership skills and strategies.

TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP, TRAITS, AND COMPETENCIES OF NURSING STUDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSING

The transformational leadership attributes and leadership traits of nursing students are essential components in their competency development in Community Health Nursing. The study explored the level of transformational leadership and leadership traits of nursing students in relation to their level of competency in Community Health Nursing. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design. 175 Level Two Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students were chosen as respondents through purposive sampling. The researcher utilized Mean, Standard Deviation, Frequency, Percentage, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient in the data analysis. Results revealed that the nursing students possessed high transformational leadership attributes and skills, leadership traits, and have a fair competency in their Community Health Nursing clinical exposure. Among the six constructs of transformational leadership, only delegation showed a highly influential relationship with competency. Meanwhile, no leadership trait manifested to correlate with nursing students’ competency at present. The study implies that nursing students with high transformational leadership attributes and high leadership traits will be future successful nurse leaders. Moreover, delegation skill is the key to becoming a competent leader and thus it is important to be introduced to nursing students even at their entry into the baccalaureate nursing education. This study also suggests that nursing educators ensure that they provide high-quality undergraduate nursing education, as this is vital in developing transformational leadership skills and improving leadership traits needed to produce competent nursing graduates who are well-equipped to work in the community setting.

The Mediating Roles of Transformational Leadership and Workplace Gossip on The Relationship Between Organizational Justice and Organizational Virtuousness

The purpose of this study is to examine direct and indirect effects of organisational justice on morale and virtuousness through transformational leadership and workplace gossip. An online questionnaire was used to purposively sample 385 participants from the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry in India for this study. Important predictors of organisational virtue were identified, including workplace gossip, transformational leadership, and organisational justice. The results of the study showed a strong correlation between virtue and organisational justice.

Transformational Leadership, Communication Skill and Performance of Rural Companies: Moderated by Environmental Uncertainty

Purpose: Establishing companies in rural areas is one solution for equitable development. However, in reality, there are still many companies in rural areas that are not yet operating optimally. This is due to many factors. This research aims to analyze how transformational leadership and communication skills play a role in improving company performance in rural areas. Additionally examined in this study as a moderating factor is environmental uncertainty
 Design/Methodology/Approach: The population in this study was 57 rural companies in Indonesia spread across Riau Province. The sampling technique used is stratified sampling. Respondents in this study are company managers. A total of 137 respondents participated in this study. The data-gathering technique employs questionnaires, which are dispersed by delivering them directly to respondents. This study employs the partial least squares method to evaluate the hypothesis.
 Findings: According to data analysis, environmental uncertainty, communication abilities, and transformational leadership all have a effect on improving business performance. Environmental uncertainty moderates the impact of transformative leadership on corporate performance but not the impact of communication skills on company performance.
 Implications/Originality/Values: This research contributes to the importance of transformational leaders and communication skills to improve company performance in rural areas. Environmental factors must also be considered in making decisions. To form transformational leadership, leadership training is necessary.

Leadership styles and their outcomes: a study of a Nigerian hospital middle management nurses

PurposeThis study was conducted to identify and explore the leadership styles and the leadership outcomes of the middle management nurses in a large tertiary hospital in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo state of Nigeria. This study aims to explore and describe the perception of staff nurses (SNs) about their nurse managers’ (NMs) leadership styles, to investigate the leadership outcomes of NMs as perceived by their SNs and to investigate what are the best predictors of the leadership outcomes among the perceived leadership styles.Design/methodology/approachThirty-six variables of the MLQ-5X were compressed into the nine psychological constructs, as proposed by Avolio and Bass (2004). Four items of each of the nine sub-scales were combined together, to form the independent variables. The nine items of the leadership outcomes were compressed into three composite variables as: the Leader’s perceived influence as being effective in leading the group variable, it has four items; the Leader’s perceived influence as being satisfactory to the group being led variable, it has two items; and lastly, the Leader’s perceived influence to encourage the staff.FindingsWhen all the three leadership sub-scales were combined as one total leadership outcome, the regression analysis showed that four leadership constructs were the predictors of the leadership outcome, that is, idealized attribute (ß = 0.173, p = 0.011), intellectual stimulation (ß = 0.171, p = 0.016), individualized consideration (ß = 0.240, p = 0.001) and contingent reward (ß = 0.194, p = 0.006). The coefficients and the p-values of the remaining five leadership constructs are as shown in Table 1.Research limitations/implicationsThis study has many limitations. One, the respondents were not randomly sampled, so the results cannot be generalized outside of UCH, Nigeria. It is also a one-time survey.Practical implicationsManagers who regularly practice transformational leadership (TFL) would be able to encourage their SNs to put in their best for the greater good of the organization. In this study, three sub-scales of the TFL, that is, idealized attribute, intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration were found to be strong predictors of leadership outcomes. Leaders who are able to treat their staff with care and concern for the individual, able to mentor, advise, coach and develop their staff are likely to also see improved staff satisfaction and extra effort in staff performance. This is especially necessary in sub-Saharan African countries, including Nigeria.Social implicationsIt is therefore strongly recommended that middle management nurses in UCH should continue to strive and improve on their TFL skills as well as their contingent reward styles of leadership. Vesterinen et al. (2012) said that NMs who can observe their own behaviour and its effects on employees can adjust to a better leadership style. In particular, individualized consideration skills such as coaching, mentoring, advising, developing and showing concern for the individual needs of their staff would encourage SNs to put in extra effort and be more satisfied with their leaders.Originality/valueTo the best of the author’s knowledge, this is his original research work and it has never been published elsewhere. The whole work was however submitted for a PhD thesis to the University of Salford.
