Purpose: This study aimed to investigate clinical nurses' perception on nursing managerial competencies. Methods: This was a descriptive study. The data were collected from 198 nurse managers who had worked in six general hospitals using a self-reporting questionnaire. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Importance-Performance Analysis. Results: Only 32% of the participants had experienced nursing managerial competency training. The mean score for perceived performance of nursing managerial competency was lower than that for perceived importance. There were significant differences in perceived importance, performance, and importance-performance gaps among head, charge, and staff nurses. Importance-performance analysis showed that three of the 30 nursing managerial competencies require further development: staffing, human resources development and education, and nursing standard development competency. There were significant differences in importance-performance gaps according to age, career years in current hospital, work shift, position, nursing delivery system, and nursing managerial competency-education experience. Conclusion: A training program for developing and improving nursing managerial competencies which is focused on the gaps in importance and performance level is needed for clinical nurses. In addition, it should be considered to improve nursing work conditions such as nursing delivery system and formal appointment in order to increase the performance of nursing managerial competencies.

The current study examined which leadership styles of nurse managers affect teamwork among nurses. The analytic sample consisted of 187 clinical or charge nurses, who were recruited from one university affiliated large hospital in Korea. The results from the multiple regression analysis showed that higher nurse managers' transformational, servant, and ethical leaderships were significantly associated with higher teamwork among nurses. Yet, nurse managers' transactional leadership was not related to teamwork among nurses. These findings indicate that it is effective for nurse managers to display transformational, servant, and ethical leadership rather than transactional leadership in order to enhance teamwork among nurses. This study suggests the needs to address not only transformational leadership but also servant and ethical leadership during leadership education for nurse managers.
