Abstract

Objective: To identify the situational leadership style of the nursing professional and its relationship with work factors in a second-level hospital.

Methodology: This is a descriptive, relational, cross-sectional study. The study population was 111 nurses; for data collection the instrument of Paul Hersey and Keneth Blanchard (1973), which consists of 12 situations, was used. The research instrument was sent by email and WhatsApp, and available in print to increase the response rate. The information was processed through the SPSS V24 program.

Results: A response rate of 56% was obtained. The participants have a mean age of 36 years and a SD of 11.82. There is a female predominance of 90.3%, where 36% has studied at the specialization and master's level. Regarding the years working, more than 40% has worked less than 5 years. The style mostly adopted by the staff is the participative style (E3) 42%, followed by the persuasive style (E2) 37%, directing (E1) 13%, and finally, the delegative style (E4) 8%. The situational leadership style did not present a statistically significant association with the years of work and academic preparation, since p values> 0.05 were obtained. A statistically significant relationship was evidenced between the years of work as a nursing professional and academic preparation, with a p <0.05. Conclusion: The predominant leadership style is participative and there was no statistically evidenced relationship between leadership style and work factors.
