Background: Turnover is one of the significant problems facing the nursing profession. Nursing intentions for turnover lead to absenteeism and nursing shortage, which in turn results in low quality of care. An effective leadership style is a central point that can combat the constantly challenging problem of nurses’ turnover.
Aim: To assess the relationship between three different leadership styles; transformational, transactional, passive-avoidant leadership, and their effect on predicted nurse turnover.
Methods: This study utilizes a quantitative, cross-sectional, and correlational design. Using a convenience sampling method, 192 nurses from a tertiary governmental hospital in Makkah Province, Saudi Arabia were included. The self-administered questionnaire consists of participant demographic inquiries, the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-5X), and the Anticipated Turnover Scale (ATS).
Results: The findings revealed that the explanatory variable does not have a significant relationship with the dependent variable at F=0.567, p>0.05.
