The impact of leadership style in team-based primary care - staff satisfaction and motivation.
Article in BJGP open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundLeadership styles, beliefs, and behaviours are an important and critical component to the delivery of quality care in any primary care organisation. The human resource crisis in health care has resulted in greater investments in team-based care; however, some leaders may not have experience working in team-based settings.
aimTo explore what leadership characteristics, styles, and behaviours were most conducive to employee satisfaction, motivation, and delivery of care in a team-based primary care setting. DESIGN &
settingA qualitative study involving 16 community health centre (CHC) staff from six CHCs across Ontario, Canada.
methodThematic analysis of qualitative interviews using a framework based on transformational leadership (TL) theory.
resultsThe following three themes emerged from our findings as having a noticeable impact on staff motivation, morale, delivery of care, and client outcomes: transparent and open communication; opportunities to collaborate in decision making; and staff recognition and appreciation. The results of our study indicate it is critical that leaders adopt leadership styles and approaches in which every team member is informed, heard, and appreciated.
conclusionThis study described the leadership styles and characteristics that lead to improved employee satisfaction, motivation, and morale in a team-based primary care setting, and the impact this could and does have on quality and delivery of care. Future research is needed to better understand the impact of leadership in a variety of roles within a team-based environment, specifically in a multidisciplinary setting.
