Moreover, a questionnaire of PathâGoal Leadership, Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale, and Turnover Intention Scale was used to assess leadership styles of nurse managers, nursesâ motivation and turnover intention among the participants. Descriptive and inferential tests were used to ask the research questions.Results: The participants perceived the supportive leadership style as the highest (M = 24.4, SD = 4.66). The mean work motivation among participants was 87.12, and the mean turnover intention was 22.01. Nursesâ motivation has a positive correlation with all leadership styles. Years of experience predict the nursesâ work motivation. Among the leadership styles; two of them significantly predict nursesâ work motivation (supportive style) p < 0.001, and (achievement-oriented style) p < 0.001. Finally, the highest correlation coefficient was noticed between work motivation and achievement-oriented style (r = 0.46, p < 0.001) by moderate positive correlation, and the lowest correlation coefficient was between work motivation and directive style (r = 0.29, p < 0.001), whereas the results revealed that turnover intention was not significantly correlated with any of the leadership styles.Conclusion: The results present a unique theoretical underpinning that highlights the factors that affect nursesâ turnover intention. So, these findings could be used as guide for policy makers to establish organizational policies toward satisfying nursesâ motivation and quality of life to enhance their retention.
