The Impact of Leadership Styles on Healthcare Employees Engagement on Health Workers in the Medina Region
Keywords:
Leadership, Leadership styles, Healthcare employees
Abstract
Healthcare organizations worldwide are currently encountering growing difficulties stemming from a scarcity of healthcare workers and a rising prevalence of employee attrition. Consequently, there is an increased requirement for healthcare professionals and other staff members within the healthcare industry. This study will employ a cross-sectional, community-based quantitative study design. The study will commence within the healthcare facilities located in the Medina region, encompassing a sample size of 1200 participants. The primary outcome of this research study suggests that job satisfaction is notably impacted by two key factors: the perception of receiving recognition for one's work from both supervisors and colleagues, and the perception of being involved in organizational decision-making processes. The results of the research suggest that incorporating effective communication skills, prior management experience, and adaptable academic qualifications into the selection criteria for managerial positions in primary healthcare centers can lead to favorable outcomes in terms of leadership quality and job satisfaction among healthcare professionals working in these centers.
