Twenty scholarly, peer-reviewed articles written in English and published between 2015 and 2020 w… Show more

“…Leadership in health care When examining the health-care literature, two leaderships styles often emerge: transformational and authentic leadership (Regan et al, 2016;Specchia et al, 2021;Perez, 2021). In fact, a recent systematic review of leadership style and job satisfaction in health care found that transformational leadership had the highest number of positive correlations followed by authentic leadership (Specchia et al, 2021).…”

“…Another explanation for the lack of evidence for positive outcomes in health care is the tendency for mistaking transactional leadership for transformational leadership.

“…22,23 Acknowledging that this field is under-researched in the Kuwait/Arab region despite its high importance and impact, 21,24 the objective of this paper is to explore and assess organizational culture and quality of care, and measure their association with transformational/transactional styles of leadership in the hospitals studied. The rationale behind focusing on transformational leadership is because it is among the most recurrent theories in research, 5,11 in addition to being one of the most effective leadership styles in health services, 25,26 and has a prominent impact on growth of leadership development strategies. 12 This paper is the second from a research project aimed at assessing leadership styles, organizational culture, patient safety initiatives, and quality of care in six government general hospitals in Kuwait.…”
