The Research Of Leadership Behavior And Relation Among Leadership Behavior, General Self-Efficacy And Achievement Goal Orientations Of Nursing Supervisor In Shanxi Province

ObjectiveThe Nursing Supervisors play a important role in the hospital's organization. The leadership behavior of Nursing Supervisors furthering effective management. They influence working enthusiasm, performance, character and comity of nurses in their parts. The social cognitive factors such as general self-efficacy and achievement goal orientations predict personal working achievements and behavior. The objective is to describe Nursing Supervisor's leadership behavior, general self-efficacy and achievement goal orientations and to determine what relationship among them. To provide the base for evaluating and selecting the nursing supervisor and to provide base for further study which find the leadership behavior's efficient factors.MethodsThe Subjects are the Nursing Supervisors who from comprehensive hospitals in Shanxi province. The Cluster sampling was used to survey general self-efficacy, achievement goal orientations and leadership behavior for Nursing Supervisors by General Self-Efficacy Scale, PM leadership behavior questionnaire, achievement goal orientations scale applying the method of Cross-section survey. Moreover, the data were analyzed by the statistical software spss12.0.Results1. The score of M leading behavior was lower than the score of P leading behavior. The pm leading behavior was obvious, which occupied 42.8%. PM leading behavior occupied 15.9%.2. The GSES's mean was 2.95±0.46. There was a positive correlation between leading behavior and GSES.3. The score of performance- approach goal orientations were higher than others. There was a positive correlation between leading behavior and achievement goal orientations. There was a positive correlation between P behavior and master goal orientations, between M behavior and master goal orientations. There was a negative relationship between P behavior and performance-avoidance goal orientations.4. There was a positive correlation between GSES and master goal orientations, between GSES and performance- approach goal orientations.5. There were significant differences among different leader types in GSES. The people with high GSES in PM and P were greater than the people who belong to M and pm leader types. The factor that affecting P leader types was GSES.6. There were significant differences among different leader types in achievement goal orientations. The factor that affecting PM leader types was master goal orientations. The factor that affecting pm leader types was performance-avoidance goal orientations. Most of PM leader types belong to master goal orientations. Most of pm and M leader types belong to performance-avoidance goal orientations.Conclusion1. The leading behavior of Nursing Supervisors were dissatisfactory. They pay more attention to their work. The pm leading behavior was obvious, which occupied 42.8 percent.2. There was a positive correlation between leading behavior and GSES. The people with high GSES in PM and P were greater than the people who belong to pm leader types. We should increase GSES' levels in order to improve leading behavior of Nursing Supervisor.3. There was a positive correlation between leading behavior and achievement goal orientations. The factor that affecting PM leader types was master goal orientations. The factor that affecting pm leader types was performance-avoidance goal orientations. We should increase GSES' levels and cultivate active achievement goal orientations in order to improve leading behavior of Nursing Supervisor.Suggestion for further studyBecause exerting cross-section design carried out the study the result may not be justified sufficiently. The intervention study of leading behavior should be done.
