Abstract

The demand for high-quality care requires nurses to have self-leadership skills to improve their existing workforce and job performance. This study explored the relationship between self-leadership (SL) and job performance (JP) among nurses working in governmental hospitals in Jordan. A descriptive, correlational cross-sectional design was used, and a sample of 147 nurses completed the study. The revised SL questionnaire was used to measure the SL. In addition, the six-dimensional scale (6-DSNP) was used to measure job performance. The results showed that Jordanian nurses have a high perceived level of SL (x̄ = 120.11, SD ± 22.72) and job performance (SL (x̄ = 146.48, SD ± 25.82).Moreover, the results showed that nurses who have taken training courses have a higher mean score for SL and JP than nurses who did not. Also, nurses with master’s degrees have higher mean scores for SL and JP than those with bachelor’s degrees. There was a statistically significant positive relationship between self-leadership and JP (r = 0.86, p = 0.001). In conclusion, assessing self-leadership is crucial in enhancing the job performance of Jordanian nurses in governmental hospitals. Nursing leaders can enhance the self-leadership abilities among nursing staff by conducting training courses and advancing the educational level of their staff.
