Abstract

Objective: To identify the authentic leadership dimensions demonstrated by nurse leaders and to analyze the relationship between these dimensions, personality types, and job satisfaction among both leaders and their followers.

Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 111 nurses using the Instruments Authentic Leadership Questionnaire, Job Satisfaction Survey, and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®. The statistical methods used included Spearman correlation coefficients, nonparametric Mann-Whitney tests, and generalized estimating equation models with gamma distribution.

Results: There was a significant difference between the evaluations of authentic leadership by leaders and followers. There was a significant association between authentic leadership and job satisfaction among followers (p value >0.05), while no correlation was observed between authentic leadership, job satisfaction, and personality type among leaders.

Conclusions: The findings indicate a positive correlation between authentic leadership dimensions and job satisfaction among followers.
