dc.description.abstractThe main objective of this study was to assess the effect of leadership styles on nurses’ productivity in a public, a private and a faith-based hospital in Nairobi County and examine the moderating role of task structure to this effect. The study specifically sought to assess the effect of transformational leadership style and transactional leadership style, on nursing employee absenteeism in the selected hospitals in Nairobi County. The study applied a descriptive survey design to identify, analyze and describe the effects of leadership styles on nursing employee productivity in selected public, private, and faith-based hospitals in Nairobi County. These include the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), The Nairobi Hospital, and Mater Misericordiae Hospital. The collected data was analyzed by both descriptive and inferential statistics. From the regression of coefficients, it was confirmed that transformational leadership style has a positive and statistically significant relationship with employee productivity. This implies that changes in a unit of the aspects related to transformational leadership style leads to a change in employee productivity. It was also confirmed (from the regression results) that transactional leadership style has a positive and statistically significant relationship with employee productivity. This implies that changes in a unit of the aspects related to transactional leadership style leads to a change in employee productivity. The findings therefore, confirmed that there is a positive and significant moderating effect of task structure on the relationship between transformational leadership style and employee productivity. The study finds conclusive evidence that transformational leadership style has a positive and statistically significant relationship with employee productivity. It was also confirmed that transactional leadership style has a positive and statistically significant relationship with employee productivity. This indicates that when leaders adopt transformational and transactional leadership styles, they are more likely to inspire and motivate their employees, which results in increased productivity. Leaders who exhibit transformational leadership behaviors such as inspiring their followers, providing individualized consideration, intellectually stimulating their employees, and exhibiting idealized influence can enhance employee productivity. Similarly, leaders who use transactional leadership behaviors such as providing rewards, setting goals, and monitoring performance can also improve employee productivity Keywords: Transformational leadership style, transactional leadership style, nursing employee productivity, nursing employee absenteeism, task structure.
