When nurse emotional intelligence matters: How transformational leadership influences intent to stay
Open accessAbstract
AIM: The purpose of this study was to examine the role of staff nurse emotional intelligence between transformational leadership and nurse intent to stay. BACKGROUND: Nurse intent to stay and transformational leadership are widely recognized as vital components of nurse retention. Staff nurse emotional intelligence that has been confirmed improvable has been recently recognized in the nursing literature as correlated with retention. Yet, the nature of the relationships among these three variables is not known. METHODS: Cross-sectional data for 535 Chinese nurses were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling. RESULTS: Transformational leadership and staff nurse emotional intelligence were significant predictors of nurse intent to stay, accounting for 34.3% of the variance in nurse intent to stay. Staff nurse emotional intelligence partially mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and nurse intent to stay. CONCLUSION: The findings of the study emphasized the importance of transformational leadership in enhancing nurse emotional intelligence and to provide a deeper understanding of the mediating role of emotional intelligence in the relationship between nurse manager's transformational leadership and nurse's intent to stay. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nurse leaders should develop training programmes to improve nursing manager transformational leadership and staff nurse emotional intelligence in the workplace.

Managers with high emotional intelligence and transformational leadership tend to correlate with nurses' intent to remain at their current employment.
“Furthermore, managers with high levels of emotional intelligence and transformational leadership tend to correlate with a nurse ' s intent to remain at their current employment (Cummings et al., 2018 ;Moneke & Umeh, 2015 ;Wang et al., 2018 ).”
From Nurse manager communication and outcomes for nursing: An integrative review. (2021) · cites this paper as Wang et al., 2018
The Discussion reports that nurses working for managers with transformational leadership expressed greater intent to stay, and that nurses’ own emotional intelligence was also associated with intent to stay. It does not report a relationship between managers’ emotional intelligence and nurses’ intent to stay; that part of the citing sentence substitutes manager emotional intelligence for the staff nurse emotional intelligence studied here.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
