| Popis: | The aim of the present study was to survey directors of nursing (DONs) and chief operating officers (COOs) in the People's Republic of China on the importance of DON role competencies based on the Forces of Magnetism.The present study describes part of an international collaborative effort to support the attainment of the Chinese Ministry of Health's plan to strengthen and to increase the knowledge and skill levels of nurse administrators.A random sample of 300 Chinese DONs and COOs was surveyed in the autumn of 2008.Compared with the COOs, the DONs were predominately female, had less graduate education and had more years of experience in their current role. Although the two groups perceived structural empowerment to be important, the DONs placed significantly greater importance on transformational leadership.The Chinese DONs and COOs rated the role competencies based on the Forces of Magnetism to be important for DONs to be effective.The study's findings support the transferability of the Forces of Magnetism to nursing management in hospitals internationally. |
