Leadership Styles Among Nurses: A Cross-Sectional Analysis Within the Full Range Leadership Framework
The findings indicate a predominant transformational leadership profile among nurses, accompanied by complementary transactional behaviours and low passive-avoidant tendencies. The observed correlations support a dimensional interpretation of leadership consistent with the Full Range Leadership Model. These findings provide descriptive insight into leadership patterns within this nursing sample and may inform leadership development initiatives in comparable healthcare contexts.
