lives in Taiwan: a cross-sectional quantitative study

Introduction: Leaders should be able to influence and inspire others, develop strategies, organize
resources and empower people. The leader is in a position with multiple dimensions, such as being a
clinical expert in their field as well as being a manager in a hospital.

(private, public and religious) were recruited. Participation was voluntary and signed informed consent
was obtained. The inclusion criteria were nurses with at least one years work experience in the hospitals.
Self-administrated questionnaires were used. A total of 807 participants were contacted and 651
questionnaires were fully completed (response rate 80.7 %). A theory driven model was used to test the
research hypotheses using structural equation modelling performed with AMOS 16.0.

Results: Transformational leadership contributes significantly to supervisor support. Organizational

commitment was the strongest factor relevant to the general health well-being in Taiwanese nurses than
job satisfaction.

complete picture of the work relationships on the quality of nurses working lives. The results provided
information about the subordinates perceptions of transformational nursing leadership styles and mental
health outcomes in different hospital settings, as well as identified organizational factors that could
improve the quality of nurses working lives.
