Summary: | Introduction: Leadership style is one of the most debated topics in management
(urban health-care centers), which has influenced a great number of managers
and employees. The present study aimed to determine the impact of the
managers’ leadership styles on the employees’ job motivation based on the
Vroom-Yetton model.
Methods: This study was a descriptive–analytical one and the research
environment included the managers of health-care centers in Shiraz, Iran. The
study data were collected through two questionnaires which were developed
by the researchers, and the statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS
statistical software.
Results: The findings of the study indicated that 37%, 32%, and 7% of the
managers’ leadership styles were cooperative type 1, cooperative type 2, and
centric, respectively. In addition, 48% and 42% of the study subjects had
average and high levels of maintenance motivational needs, respectively.
Besides, 54% and 41% of the employees had average and high levels of
motivational needs, respectively. The results showed a significant relationship
between the employees’ motivational needs and the type of service as well as
age (a <0.05). A significant relationship was also found between the employees’
provocative motivational needs and the type of service; however, no significant
relationship was observed between the employees’ motivational needs and the
demographic variables. No significant relationship was found between the
managers’ leadership style and demographic variables, either.
Conclusion: Given that the majority of the mangers of the research society
have the leadership style of consultative and cooperative, this matter can
improve the employees’ provocative and maintenance motivational needs in
health-care centers. |
