Abstract

This study aims to inform stakeholders and advance scientific understanding by investigating the correlation between leadership styles and work morale among nurse leaders working in private hospitals in Tagbilaran City, Bohol. The findings are intended to guide leadership development initiatives and inform healthcare policies to improve organizational outcomes. Results showed that nurse leaders generally demonstrated high levels of leadership practice, with management-by-exception, individualized consideration, and inspirational motivation rated highest. This demonstrates the competence of nurse leaders, which should reassure the audience of their effective practices and dedication. Trend analysis highlights the significance of ethical and transformational leadership behaviors in establishing trust and professional dedication, as well as in pushing practical stakeholder solutions. This is despite the fact that no clear statistical correlation was established between the two.
