Abstract

This descriptive article intended to measure the level of core value-based leadership, the level of implementation of core values into practice among nurses. The sample group was 202 registered nurses with more than 1 year of experience, determined by using the Yamane's formula, as well as random sampling by multi-stage sampling. Data were collected with a questionnaire that was validated by 3 experts, yielding a CVI value of 0.93. Reliability of part 2 and 3 of questionnaire was tested by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, which reached 0.95 and 0.80, respectively. Data was analyzed by frequency distribution, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation.

The results of the study showed the followings.

1. Core value-based leadership in head nurses was at a high level (M=4.14, SD=0.6).

2. Level of implementation of core values into the practice of head nurses, as perceived by registered nurse, was at a high level (M=4.05, SD=0.56).

3. The highest mean score was in the dimension of setting definitions, and desirable characteristics (M=4.08, SD=0.55).

4. The lowest mean score was in dimension of awareness and inspiration creating (M=4.00, SD=0.58).

5. Level of implementation of core values into the practice of head nurses, as perceived by registered nurses, classified by core values, was at a high level (M=4.05, SD=0.55). The implementation of core values regarding moral commitment was at the highest level (M = 4.07, SD=0.55). And the dimension of deep empathy was at the lowest level (M=4.01, SD=0.57).

6. Relationships between core value-based leadership style and implementation of core values among head nurses, as perceived by registered nurses, was statistically significant (r=0.80, p<0.001).
