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.

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.

1.    Measure

All articles reviewed were quantitative research using questionnaires. To assess the effect of transformational leadership style on job satisfaction or nurse performance, there are 6 different questionnaires, namely A short measure of transformational leadership, Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ), Path-Goal Leadership styles questionnaire, Transformational leadership behavior questionnaire, Transformational Leadership Scale Wu and Lin, 14-item transformational leadership scale. Assessment of job satisfaction from using the One global item Job Satisfaction questionnaire, Scales for the measurement of some work attitudes and aspects of psychological well-being, a three-item scale, the Work-related Basic Need Satisfaction Scale, the perceived nurse work environment scale. In addition, several questionnaires were also used for performance, namely a three-item scale and Motowidlo and Van Scotter's Job performance. All instruments used had Cronbach's Alpha values > 0.70.

2.    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.

b.    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.
