PURPOSE
Nursing students are expected to show self-leadership. For this study, leadership life skills and achievement motivation were examined for their influence on self-leadership in student nurses.
METHODS
A descriptive study was conducted using a self-report questionnaire completed by 239 nursing students. Data were analyzed using t-test, one way ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression analysis with SPSS 20.0 program.
RESULTS
The mean score for self-leadership was 3.49, for leadership life skills, 3.65, and for achievement motivation, 3.42. There were significant differences in self-leadership according to task orientation (β=.25, p < .001), responsibility (β=.24, p < .001), challenge spirit (β=.22 p < .001), future orientation (β=.16, p=.001), leadership life skills (β=.08, p=.009), and interpersonal relationships (β=−.09, p < .001). The explanation power of the regression model was 51.1% and it was statistically significant (F=41.87, p < .001).
CONCLUSION
The results of this study show that factors influencing self-leadership are leadership life skills and achievement motivation. Therefore, it is necessary to develop intervention programs to improve self-leadership in nursing students for enhancement of task orientation, responsibility, challenge spirit, future orientation, and leadership life skills.
