Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of preceptors’transformational leadership on job stress and clinical performance among new graduate nurses.
Methods : The study subjects were 180 new nurses in three University Hospitals. General characteristics, leadership, job stress and clinical performance were collected using self-reported questionnaires. Transformational leadership consisted of charisma, intellectual stimulation and individual consideration. T-test, ANOVA, pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis were performed to access the effect of leadership on job stress and clinical performance.
Results : Of 180 subjects, 94.4% were female. The mean scores of transformational leadership, charisma, intellectual stimulation and individual consideration were 3.9±.46, 3.9±.46, 3.9±.57 and 4.0±.58, respectively. In multiple regression analysis, overall transformational leadership(β=.154, p= .006) and charisma(β=.388, p=.008) significantly increased the job stress. On the other hand, individual consideration significantly decreased the job stress (β =-.671, p=.048) and increased the clinical performance(β=2.472, p=.024).
Conclusions : Charisma of preceptors was associated with the increase of job stress, and individual consideration was associated with the decrease of job stress and improvement of clinical performance. Therefore, the preceptors’ leadership focusing on individual consideration rather than charisma may reduce job stress and improve clinical performance in the University hospital organization.
