dc.description.abstract | Background:
The South African mining healthcare sector faces injuries, illnesses including
HIV and AIDS and high staff turnover rates. In this sector, nurse managers should create an
optimal environment for providing nursing care by motivating, influencing and empowering
nurses.
Objectives:
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between nurse managers’
resilience and empowering leader behaviour in this sector.
Method: The study employed a quantitative, descriptive and correlational design. The research
population comprised 31 nurse managers, 101 professional nurses, 79 enrolled nurses and 79
enrolled nursing auxiliaries who participated in the study. Two questionnaires were used as
data collection methods, namely Wagnild and Young’s Resilience Scale Questionnaire to
investigate the resilience of nurse managers and the Empowering Leadership Questionnaire to
measure empowering leader behaviour of the nurses supervised by a particular nurse manager.
Results:
Out of 31 nurse managers, 8 had a low level, 19 had a moderate level and 4 had a high
level of resilience. According to Hoteling’s t-test the nurse managers in the low resilience
group displayed lower empowering leader behaviour as perceived by their team members
than those in the high resilience group in terms of the five factors included in the Empowerment
Leadership Questionnaire.
Conclusion:
Respondents with high resilience scores tended to have higher leader empowering
behaviour.
Recommendations include the strengthening of nurse managers’ resilience through workshops
and reflection practices, debriefing and performance feedback sessions | en_US |
