Dramatic changes in the healthcare
environment over the last decade.
Nursing shortages, staff retention, and
turnover the prime concern of the health
care organization.
Healthcare organizations need to redesign
their traditional management models
Management styles play a vital role in
promoting workplace empowerment,
organizational commitment and job
satisfaction
Retention of nurses is a recognized issue for
the health organization
To determine the relationship between
management styles and nurses’ retention at
private hospitals.
Study design: a correlational descriptive
research design.
Study area:
Three private hospitals affiliated to
nongovernmental for profit sector at Alexandria
governorate.
Each hospital has a bed capacity more than 50
beds namely:
El Salama New hospital (8 units),
Alexandria New Medical Center (four units), and
El Shefaa hospital (four units)
• Study population:
All nurses affiliated to work in the selected hospitals
and available at the time of data collection
Sample size:
n=228
Alexandria New Medical Center n = 79 nurses,
El Salama New hospital n = 113 nurses and
El Shefaa hospital n = 36 nurses.
Tool: Profile of Organizational Characteristics (POC) a
modified version developed by Likert et al., to measure nurses’ perception of management styles in their work unit .
Consists of 16 items classified into four parts called systems; each system represented different management patterns which are exploitative/authoritative management style
Benevolent management style,
consultative management style, and
participative management style.
The four management systems have been
compared with one another on the basis of:
leadership processes (three items),
motivation forces (three items),
communication process (four items),
decision making process (two items),
goals setting (two items), and
control process (two items).
A pilot study on 10% of nurses from inpatients units at the International Cardiac Center (ICC) not included in the study were selected.
Submitted to a panel of eight experts in the field of study to be tested for its statement relevance.
The reliability coefficient of POC has been previously established with alpha coefficient 0.92 < 0.05.
For the current questionnaire POC, alpha coefficient was 0.89 < 0.05.
Permission for study was obtained from:
The ethical committee of the Faculty of Nursing
Directors of the studied hospitals to collect
necessary data.
Included three phases as follow:-
Phase I
Obtained a list about numbers and names of all
nurses employed at least 3 months having
diploma or baccalaureate degree from the head
nurses in studied hospitals (units).
Individualized structured interview was
conducted which lasted for interview lasted 30–
45.
Phase II Returned to the previous studied hospitals after 9
months to collect data from director of nursing and head nurses about the numbers and names of nurses who had quit and reasons for leaving their units.
The reasons for quitting hospitals : obligatory and non-obligatory reasons.
A record form designed including the number and the names of nurses who had quit from hospitals, hospital name, reasons for quitting, and work duration until quitting.
Nurses’ retention was calculated.
Data :
Data were analyzed using SPSS (with version (v =
11.5 for windows) for tabulation and statistical
analysis
Descriptive and inferential statistics were used.
Level of significance selected for this study was
5% (p < 0.05).
Result is congruent with Chappell and Prince
who found that non-family obligation is an
important obligatory reasons.
Force MV showed that work-related factors
are instrumental in nurses’ employment
decisions, and must be addressed if retention
is to be improved.
The present study:
Gives strong support towards understanding of
nurses’ perception of management styles and
their retention at Private Hospitals.
Has shown significant difference between
management styles and nurse’ retention.
Highest mean percentage was apparent for
exploitive/authoritative management style.
Hospital leaders should plan and implement
effective strategies to promote nurses’
retention by:
Creating a more supportive professional nursing
practice that allows nurses to practice to their
full opportunities for professional interactions.
Motivating nurses through providing job
enrichment and developing reward systems for
nurses based on their workloads.
Can assess retention strategies between
governmental and private nurses, by further
comparative studies.
