are
among leadership researchers who are more direct in asserting that context and particular conditions are essential elements to
understanding the influence of leadership. In this study, we measured servant leadership in the particular context of a multihospital
system and under varying conditions of organizational structure. The results indicate that direct relationships exist between
servant leadership and nurse collaboration, creativity, and job satisfaction. In turn, nurse job satisfaction is associated
with patient satisfaction in the form of patient satisfaction with nursing, satisfaction with pain management, and in a willingness
to recommend the caregiving facility.
