Effect of resonant leadership and Structural empowerment on nurses’ performance

Nurse leaders are crucial in fostering supportive work cultures, particularly in healthcare organizations, to overcome these unfavorable trends and improve nurse job performance. Acknowledge and value the contributions made by nurses, create a culture of positivity and support within the team, encourage a healthy work-life balance by providing flexible scheduling alternatives where available, and provide chances for professional and skill development. Nurse leaders may foster a work climate that empowers and supports nurses by putting these strategies into practice. This will ultimately improve patient care, raise nursing performance, and develop a workforce of more resilient nurses. Aim: Determine the effect of resonant leadership and structural empowerment on the nurses performance. Design: A descriptive correlational, study design was used to achieve the objectives of the study. Setting: The study was conducted at Dakhla General Hospital. Subject: all nurses and head nurses working in Dakhla General Hospital (n=260). Tools: (1): Personal sheet for Nurses. (2):Resonant leadership scale (3): The Conditions of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire. (4): Nursing performance using observational checklist. Results: This study showed that the level of resonant leadership and structural empowerment is very high for the study participants and the extent of their impact on patient performance. Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between resonant leadership and structural empowerment and there is also a positive correlation between resonant leadership and nursing performance. However, there is a negative correlation between structural empowerment and nursing performance. Recommendation:Organize program for orientation of newly appointed nurse managers about strategies for implementing resonant leadership.
