Abstract: Introduction: Management styles are an essential issue from both a theoretical and managerial perspective. However, success in nursing management is found in being flexible and being adaptable. One of the best ways to ensure quality of care is to recruit and retain sufficient nursing staff. Study is conducted at a local hospital in Mobile, Alabama (Southwest Alabama) The problem: A frequent and high turnover rate of nurses employed greater than 3 months, in which the study will endeavor to understand how nurse management styles can have a major impact on the level of workplace satisfaction, as well as the turnover rates.

Interventions: As a nursing leadership and management student I searched for solutions from a advanced student standpoint. Initial thoughts 1. Implement a screening tool that will allow nurses to communicate their thoughts and ideas on a more frequent basis. 2. Implement a monthly rounding schedule with managers and staff nurses to promote overall moral that will ultimately lead to nurse satisfaction, and will ensure ongoing quality of care. Methods A case study was conducted during this study of all 12 inpatient units (n=12) at a local hospital with a bed capacity more than 100 beds. Both day and night shift nurses with greater than 3 months experience were invited to participate in the study (n=40). A primary source of data which included surveys completed and returned from nurses that agreed to participate were collected, along with one on one interviews of nurses that participated. Team Huddles Interviews Observations Surveys

Results The findings of this study show more than half of the participants perceive their manager to have an exploitative/authoritarian management style, where this means the manager has no trust in employees. All decisions are made from upper managerial staff. Others have a perception of Laizzes Faire, in which they feel they are not really cared for. © 2013 Laureate Education, Inc. 1 Phi Nu, Walden University Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau the International Nursing Honor Society Scholarship of Practice Poster Session The Scholarship and Research committee invites you to submit a Scholarship of Practice Poster for the Phi Nu Scholarship and Induction Ceremony to be held during a Walden University Commencement.
