Abstract

In an era marked by globalization and heightened competition, this study delves into how sociodemographic factors such as age, gender, education, and work experience influence leadership styles, crucial for achieving organizational objectives. Employing the leadership behaviour questionnaire on 336 predominantly educated, male professionals of Indian descent in Malaysia's corporate sector, the research evaluates task and relationship orientations in leadership. The findings highlight a significant prevalence of both task-oriented and relationship-oriented leadership behaviours. Intriguingly, there is a positive correlation between higher education, age, work experience, and relationship orientation, while education and salary predominantly affect task-oriented leadership. A notable discovery is the positive interplay between task and relationship orientations, suggesting their complementary nature. The study concludes that a balanced, multifaceted leadership approach, fostering both efficiency and employee welfare, is vital. It underscores the impact of educational and professional growth on leadership skills and the necessity of diverse leadership styles for optimal organizational performance, offering key insights for leadership development in varied settings.

Abstract

This systematic review examined occupational stress among nurses, its multifaceted nature, and its significant impact on healthcare delivery and nurse well-being globally. This study identified various stressors, including intrinsic job factors, organizational structure, role expectations, interpersonal relationships, and career development. Using the Cooper and Marshall stress model, a thorough literature search was conducted across databases like ISI Web of Knowledge, PubMed, Scopus, Ovid Medline, and Google Scholar, focusing on publications from 2010 to 2023. This rigorous approach included diverse research methodologies, emphasizing studies measuring outcomes related to occupational stress and mental health among nurses. A total of 10 studies met the inclusion criteria, highlighting stressors such as workload, job demand, job insecurity, and less reward, categorized into five primary sources. The review revealed that occupational stress in nursing is a global issue, leading to adverse outcomes like burnout, decreased job satisfaction, and increased turnover. The discussion emphasized the need for a holistic approach to stress management, advocating for supportive work environments, adequate staffing, and professional development opportunities. In conclusion, strategic interventions are crucial for improving mental health, job satisfaction, and healthcare quality, necessitating collaborative efforts from healthcare leaders, policymakers, and practitioners.
