Abstract
In today's changing health care economic climate, attaining increased productivity of staff nurses without increasing costs is desirable. Employing a management style conducive to staff nurse job satisfaction may be one method. The article describes the findings of a research survey on perceived and desired nurse management styles and their relationship to staff nurse job satisfaction. A positive correlation (r=.48, p=.0001) was found between perceived management style and staff nurse job satisfaction. The closer the management style was to the participative group management style, the higher the level of staff nurse job satisfaction.Keywords
