ABSTRACT
The
complexity of today's healthcare system challenges hospitals to provide safe,
patient-oriented, and cost-effective services. Leadership style in an
organization is one factor that plays an essential role in increasing or
slowing down the interest and commitment of individuals in the organization.
The transformational leadership style emphasizes moral principles, cooperation,
and community together united in the privilege of human ethics. Job
satisfaction of nurses is expected to improve their performance to create full
service to patients. This literature review aims to determine the effect of
transformational leadership style on job satisfaction and performance of
hospital nurses.� The method in this
study is a literature review by searching for articles through the Ebscohost, Science direct, and Proquest
electronic databases published from 2016-2021 and meeting the inclusion
criteria. The review process uses the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic
Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Results: The results of this
review obtained nine articles showing that the transformational leadership
style has a positive influence on job satisfaction. Five reports show that
leadership positively affects nurse performance in hospitals. Transformational
leadership style influences job satisfaction and nurse performance in
hospitals. Transformational leadership has more influence on nurse performance
than transactional leadership in public hospitals. Nurses' job satisfaction is
influenced by opportunity, structural empowerment, job attachment, work
environment, and stress. At the same time, nurse performance is influenced by
organizational commitment, employee empowerment, workload, motivation, stress,
psychological safety, work attachment, and work environment.
Keywords: Transformational
Leadership Style, Performance, Job Satisfaction, Nurses, Hospital.

INTRODUCTION
The complexity of today's healthcare system challenges
hospitals to provide safe, patient-oriented, and cost-effective services (DiNapoli et al., 2016). The competence and leadership of hospital managers
determine the progress and future of the hospital. In this case, the leader of
a health facility such as a hospital should have an appropriate leadership
system and style. Hospitals should be defined as organizations with a new
leadership framework for decentralization and improvement, and should seek
greater integration of various doctors and managers into patient care and the
public health system (Aini, 2018).
Leadership style in an organization is one of the
factors that play an important role in increasing or slowing down the interest
and commitment of individuals in the organization. Transactional and
transformational leadership style theories are the most widely recognized
leadership theories. The transactional leadership style looks based on the
transaction between the leader and his followers. According to the
transactional leadership style, human relationships are nothing but a chain of
transactions (Kuantan, 2015).
In contrast to the transactional leadership style, the
transformational leadership style emphasizes moral principles, cooperation, and
community together united in human ethical privilege. As defined by Bass, the
goal of transformational leaders is to empower their followers and encourage
them to 'do more than they were originally expected to do (Brahim et al., 2015).
Job satisfaction is defined as a positive emotional
orientation towards employees' work. A study showed that nurses who viewed
their work environment as reinforcing or empowering had better performance
improvement. As a result, patient satisfaction also increased, resulting in a
higher quality of care, better patient outcomes, and more connectedness (DiNapoli et al., 2016).
This literature review aims to determine the effect of
transformational leadership style on job satisfaction and performance of
hospital nurses. Several spesific aims are to know the
difference between transformational leadership style and transactional
leadership style, the advantages and disadvantages of transformational
leadership style, and the factors that affect job satisfaction and nurse
performance.
The results of this study hopefully can
be used as meaningful input for hospital management about transformational
leadership style, job satisfaction and nurse performance, as reference material
for further research, and enrich the study of hospital management, especially
those related to transformational leadership style, job satisfaction and
performance.
METHOD
The researcher searched for articles on leadership styles
on job satisfaction and nurse performance through electronic databases, namely
Ebscohost, Proquest, and Sciencedirect. The article search used a combination
of keywords "Nurse," "Transformational Leadership," "Job
Satisfaction," "Hospital," and "Performance."
Inclusion criteria included articles discussing nurse transformational
leadership style on job satisfaction or nurse performance in English, published
in the last ten years (2011-2021), respondents are nurses in hospitals, and
using a quantitative design. Systematic review or review articles and not
available for full access were not included in this review.
Article selection using the Preferred Reporting Items for
Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol guidelines. After
searching for articles through the database, 1047 articles were obtained.
Researchers selected through titles and abstracts and obtained 26 articles that
were reviewed as a whole. From this process, 20 articles were included in the
review.

After the article selection process, the
articles obtained were synthesized with the format: researcher, year, journal
of publication, location, research objectives, research design, sample, and
results.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Based on the article search results, 20 kinds of
literature met the inclusion criteria. All articles were quantitative studies
with a horizontal approach. The research was published from 2016 to 2021. The
research data obtained are studies conducted in various countries. Two studies
were conducted in Malaysia, two studies in Africa, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, and
Indonesia, and other papers were studies from Pakistan, China, Nigeria, Jordan,
Brazil, Slovakia, Finland, Palestine, New York, and Kuwait. Looking at the 20
peer-reviewed articles above, 16 articles were sampled from multiple hospitals,
three pieces sampled from 1 hospital, and 1 article tested at a conference. Of
the 20 articles reviewed, 15 were about nurses, three were about nurses and
their managers, and two were about health workers (nurses, doctors,
pharmacists).

Discussion
a.
Factors affecting job satisfaction
Overall, the result documents analyzed transformational
leadership and job satisfaction have a positive relationship. There are five
articles on transformational leadership and job satisfaction of nurses in
hospitals. These articles discuss several transformational leadership styles
that affect job satisfaction.
The study by Asamani et al. was conducted in five
hospitals in the eastern region of Ghana. Hospital A is a Government-owned
secondary care hospital. Hospitals B and C were government-owned (primary care)
hospitals, while hospitals D and E were large faith-based hospitals comparable
to district hospitals. The health facilities were selected to represent primary
and secondary care as well as Government and mission hospitals in the Eastern
Region of Ghana. The five hospitals had 591 nurses and midwives (21) as the
accessible population. The Pearson correlation analysis results showed a weak
but significant negative correlation between directive leadership style and
staff job satisfaction levels (r = -0.263, P < 0.001). Furthermore, the
nurse manager's supportive or transformational leadership style was positively
correlated with the level of staff job satisfaction (r = 0.462, P < 0.001).
Similarly, the participative leadership style showed a positive and significant
but moderate relationship with the level of staff job satisfaction (r = 0.402,
P < 0.001). Achievement-oriented (transactional) leadership style was also
positively correlated with staff job satisfaction level (r = 0.399, P < 0.001)5.
Based on Asif et al., transformational leadership has a
positive effect on job satisfaction (r = 0.43)6. Transformational leadership
significantly affects job satisfaction, with a correlation coefficient of
0.9447. While the results of Choi et al. showed that the positive effect of
transformational leadership on job satisfaction remained significant (p <
0.05). Similarly, transformational transformational leadership showed a
positive effect on empowerment (p < 0.01), and empowerment, in turn, positively
affected job satisfaction (p < 0.01). It is important to note that the
relationship between transformational leadership and job satisfaction was
significantly significant at steps 1 and 2 but with a difference of 0.185. This
result suggests that the mediator (i.e. empowerment) may absorb some of the
effects of the relationship between transformational leadership and job
satisfaction.8
Leadership, especially transformational leadership, is
associated with higher levels of job satisfaction. Transformational leaders
engender job satisfaction and psychological well-being in employees. Nursing
leaders demonstrate transformational leadership more frequently in the
workplace and nurses exposed to this leadership style tend to have moderate to
high levels of job satisfaction. Nurses with supervisors who adopt a
transformational leadership style are less likely to experience job
dissatisfaction than nurses with supervisors who use other styles9.

Factors that affect nurse performance
Overall, all analyses of the literature on leadership and
performance found that leadership has a positive influence on nurse
performance. Only one stated no significance of transformational leadership
style on performance. Eight studies addressed leadership and nurse performance.
In Asiri et al.'s study, nurse performance was
significantly positively correlated with TAL (Transformational Leadership)
(Pearson Correlation = 0.124, p-value =0.028). In addition to correlation and
descriptive analysis, we measured the effects of nurses' perceptions of nurses'
perceptions of leadership style and psychological empowerment on nurses'
commitment and demographic factors10.
Meanwhile, according to Chairina et al., showed that
transformational leadership has a significant positive effect on SC (social
competence), that transformational leadership has a significant positive effect
on SE (self-efficacy), that transformational leadership has a significant
negative effect on burnout, that transformational leadership has no significant
positive effect on nurse performance, that SC has a significant positive effect
on nurse performance, that SE has a significant positive effect on SC, that SE
has a significant negative effect on burnout, that SE has a significant
positive effect on nurse performance, and that burnout has a significant
negative effect on nurse performance11.
Thamrin (2012) and Shahhosseini et al. (2012) in Chairina
et al., explained that transformational leadership affects performance.
However, it is different with leadership in private hospitals in East Java.
From the results of interviews with the results of interviews with these
nurses, the leadership style improves performance, but the implementation of
the leadership model is not optimally implemented. This theory also explains
another dimension of transformational leadership: inspirational motivation.
This theory explains how a leader communicates a vision, uses symbols to focus
employees, and models appropriate behavior (Miller, 1996). A hospital in East
Java The hospital in East Java has a vision of "becoming the community's
preferred hospital that prioritizes quality improvement and patient safety".
This motivates nurses quite well. However, in East Java, leaders treated all
nurses at the same level of competence without considering on-the-job training.
Instead, the hospital employs nurses as optimally as possible11.
Sari & Titisari's research results where the sig.
value of leadership style is 0.00 <0.005, meaning that leadership style
affects employee performance with a significance of 0.05. A leader is expected
to be able to change the character of his appropriate leadership style as a
strategy in dealing with problems12.
In Lai et al. hypothesis, postulated that work engagement
mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and performance.
The results showed that the relationship between transformational leadership
and task performance between transformational leadership and task performance
was not significant (unstandardized b = .12, SE = .08; ns), but work engagement
was significantly related to performance. (unstandardized b = .23, SE = .07; p
< .001). Thus, the above hypothesis is supported13.

This literature review also has limitations. The sources
of articles obtained are still very limited to discuss the influence of
transformational leadership style. And in this review, all of them used a
quantitative research design with a cross-sectional approach. This does not
provide insight into long-term effectiveness. However, the purpose of this
review is to determine the influence of transformational leadership style on
nurses' job satisfaction and performance. Cross-sectional studies help explain
the influence between these variables. This review also failed to adequately
describe the relationships between studies. For this reason, further studies
can be conducted with systematic reviews and meta-analyses to understand and
combine quantitative data from these different studies.
CONCLUSION
Transformational leadership style influences
job satisfaction and nurse performance in hospitals. Transformational
leadership style has more influence on nurse performance than transactional
leadership in public hospitals. Nurses' job satisfaction is influenced by
opportunity, structural empowerment, job attachment, work environment, and
stress. Nurse performance is influenced by organizational commitment, employee
empowerment, workload, motivation, stress, psychological safety, work
attachment, and work environment. Hospitals can develop a training program to
build nurse leadership competencies that affect nurse satisfaction and
performance to improve health services.
