Abstract
Leadership and organizational culture are two important explanatory constructs of organizational performance. The relationship of these constructs, however, is not clearly understood. Moreover, little is known about the influence of nurse managers' (NMs) leadership styles on nursing units' organizational culture (NUOC). NMs can either shape or maintain nursing unit cultures that positively or negatively impact organizational outcomes. To be successful in their roles as leaders, regardless of their experience, NMs need to be trained about how the leadership-culture connection impacts organizational performance (e.g., organizational effectiveness). Thus, this study systematically explores and describes the relationship between NMs' leadership styles and NUOC in acute care hospitals in NJ.
