FERREIRA SILVA, F. 2011. Leadership and job satisfaction among Azorean hospital
nurses: an application of the situational leadership model. Journal of Nursing
Management, 19(8), 1047–1057.
The article is based on the study and understanding the leadership model used by the
nursing manager’s leadership process and behaviour. On this context the article argued on the
effectiveness on the situational leadership model and the deconstruction of the leadership
process into small segments. This helped the authors in determining the effectiveness of the
model. The process of the research developed based on the method of using the Leadership
Effectiveness and Adaptability Description questionnaire, developed by Hersey and
Blanchard. Other than this a job satisfaction instrument was also developed by the authors in
order to determine the factors of the satisfaction level of the staff. This process of the
research is dependent on the quantitative, descriptive, inferential and correlational study. This
study was done with the help of 266 participants who are nurses and managers form two
public Portuguese Azorean hospitals. This study resulted in the determination of the low level
of job satisfaction among the nurses and the staffs and the differences between the nurse
manger and the nursing staffs as well. However, there is a finding that revealed the factors of
leadership that states the relativeness of the staff satisfaction and the leadership. The authors
concluded that the nursing leadership is a complex process and inseparable from the job
satisfaction factor (Rizan and Das 2018). Hence, training of the nursing leaders would help in
the developing better staff satisfaction, nursing care and stronger leadership.
On the basis of this article it can be seen that the sampling and the method is effective
and the results were found accurately. The article is well structured and the language is
premium. On the other hand factor of using result tables and graphs also helped in the proper
determination of the hypothesis the authors developed as well. Hence, it can be stated that the

article is a premium article and helpful in understanding about the leadership management in
the nursing sector. The situation model of nursing leadership highlighted here as the
ineffective leadership model in this article and the research result highlighted this factor
properly.

This article is based on the theoretical review of the leadership model that effectively
work on the nursing process. The leadership model used here is the transformational
leadership model and the four stages of this model has been evaluated in this article as well.
The four stages of this leadership model are idealised influence, inspirational motivation,
intellectual stimulation and individual consideration. The authors stated that the nursing
organisations changes with time and situation. Hence, the nursing leaders should be
effectively flexible and also adaptive. Hence, on the context of this article the
transformational leadership theory is very much effective in the process of the nursing
management and also providing premium health care. The transformational leaders would be
effectively motivate the staffs by inner values and ideas and that would be effective in the
process of the development of the nursing staffs in the positive direction. On this context it
can also be stated that the aspect of the nursing leadership would be satisfactory if the
adaptation of the leaders to the requirement addresses all the issues.
The process of the article research is review process and there is no sampling method
or research methodology described in the article. On the other hand the article is not well
structured and also the review process has not been properly described as well. Thus it can be
stated that the article is not properly structured and not even properly concluding on any
specific factor of the leadership model. It is only the description of the transformational
leadership model (Denis and van Gestel 2016). On this context it can be stated that the factor
