Associations among leadership, resources, and nurses' work engagement: findings from the fifth korean Working Conditions Survey.
Article in BMC nursing, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundNurses' work engagement has received extensive attention due to its positive impacts on individual and organizational outcomes, including patient safety and quality care in healthcare organizations. Although nurse managers' leadership and a variety of resources have been identified as important factors of nurses' work engagement, these relationships have not been well understood in Korean nursing contexts. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations among nurse managers' leadership, resources, and work engagement among Korean nurses after controlling for nurses' demographic and work-related characteristics.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study using data from the fifth Korean Working Conditions Survey. Using a sample of 477 registered nurses, we employed hierarchical linear regression analyses. Nurse managers' leadership, job resources (organizational justice and support from peers), professional resources (employee involvement), and personal resources (meaning of work) were examined as potential predictors of nurses' work engagement.
resultsWe found that nurse managers' leadership (β = 0.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.17-0.41) was the strongest predictor of nurses' work engagement, followed by meaning of work (β = 0.20, 95% CI = 0.07-0.18), organizational justice (β = 0.19, 95% CI = 0.10-0.32), and support from peers (β = 0.14, 95% CI = 0.04-0.23). Employee involvement was not a statistically significant predictor of nurses' work engagement (β = -0.07, 95% CI = -0.11-0.01).
conclusionsOur findings suggest that comprehensive approaches are required to promote nurses' work engagement. Considering that nurse managers' leadership was the strongest predictor of nurses' work engagement, nurse managers should demonstrate supportive leadership behaviors such as acknowledging and praising their unit nurses' work performance. Furthermore, both individual- and organizational-level strategies are necessary for nurses to be engaged at work.
