A theoretical model of the mechanism of entrepreneurial leadership attributes and leadership behaviours on nursing team creativity in a new hospital: a grounded theory study

The study identified five core attributes of entrepreneurial leadership and two types of leadership behaviors. These explain the interactive process nursing managers use to stimulate creativity in their teams within new hospitals. The leadership attributes include achievement orientation, flexibility and patience, concerns and questions, communication and sharing and execution and support. The entrepreneurial leadership behaviors were categorized into positive and negative behaviors CONCLUSION: Nursing managers in new hospitals can enhance their teams' creativity and health-promoting capabilities by applying the five entrepreneurial leadership attributes and actively practicing the positive leadership behaviors identified in this study. Avoiding negative leadership behaviors may also help stimulate creativity and guide nurses in implementing their ideas in clinical practice.
