Organizational citizenship behavior of nurses is an important component to achieve organizational goals. The purpose of this descriptive correlational study was to examine the level of head nurses’ paternalistic leadership and nurses’ organizational citizenship behavior and the relationship between the two variables. Samples were selected using proportionate stratified random sampling, including 271 nurses from two People’s hospitals of Dali, the P.R China. Research instruments were the Paternalistic Leadership Scale (PLS) and Taiwan Organizational Citizenship Behavior Scale (TOCB). The reliability of PL and TOCB was 0.88, and 0.93 respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s Rank-Order Correlation. The results of this study were as follows:
- The overall paternalistic leadership and dimensions of benevolence and authoritarian were at a moderate level whereas moral leadership was at a high level.
- The overall and each dimension of organizational citizenship behavior were at a high level.
- The overall paternalistic leadership and dimensions of benevolent and moral leadership were moderately positively related to organizational citizenship behavior while authoritarian leadership was weakly negatively related to organizational citizenship behavior.
The results of this study provide basic information for nurse administrators to develop policies and strategies to improve organizational citizenship behavior in order to enhance the quality of nursing care and organizational effectiveness
