Abstract
Nurse managers have played an integral role in stabilizing the nursing work environment and workforce in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, yet the competencies required for such a feat are largely unknown. This study was conducted during the pandemic to identify the specific domains of nurse manager competencies that associate with nurse outcomes. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on a convenience sample of 698 staff nurses to measure the perceived competence of their nurse managers and their job satisfaction and turnover intention levels. The overall perceived nurse manager competency level in our sample was 3.15 out of 5 (SD = 0.859). The findings indicated that 34.3% of nurses were dissatisfied with their current jobs, and 36.3% of nurses were considering leaving their current workplace. Regression analyses identified “Team Communication and Collaboration” (β = 0.289; p = 0.002), “Staff Advocacy and Development” (β = 0.229; p = 0.019), and “Quality Monitoring and Pursuance” (β = 0.213; p = 0.031) as significant predictors of staff nurses’ job satisfaction and “Staff Advocacy and Development” (β = −0.347; p < 0.000) and “Team Communication and Collaboration” (β = −0.243; p = 0.012) as significant predictors of nurses’ turnover intention. The findings of the study have implications for the future recruitment, training, and performance evaluation of nurse managers.
