| Summary: | Nursing services require not only strong human relations and interaction but also provision of a high quality and productive patient care. Therefore, nurses should be motivated so that they can achieve their goals and there is need for leader nurses who will lead and guide the nurses in order to increase their performance and productivity. However, as stated by some studies done in our country, nurse managers do not always treat nurses equally and just or do not act ethically and thus fail to develop positive human relations when they carry out nursing services. In this sense, it is very important to have authentic leaders who assess knowledge objectively; are transparent, honest and clear in interpersonal relations; have self-awareness; know themselves with positive and negative sides and have developed internalized moral views. Since authentic leadership is important in nursing services as a service sector, in this review we try to explain the term and to emphasize its importance for nurses. Besides, during the reviewing studies it was found that the number of the studies done on this subject in Turkiye was quite small as compared with the studies done in other countries but authentic leaders may increase success of the group by influencing performance, motivation, job satisfaction and job commitment of nursing group positively. |
