The investigator is interested in developing a targeted leadership development programme based on transformational leadership theory and strong evidence to implement among charge nurses.

A total of 164 samples are needed for the study. The samples will be randomly assigned to the two arms. The leadership practice inventory will be used for assessment of leadership practices of charge nurses. This tool is considered as valid and reliable. Assessment using Leadership Practice Inventory will be done at the beginning of administering the intervention and after 3 months of training. Work engagement of staff nurses will be assessed using Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. An evidence based targeted transformational leadership programme is designed by the research team and validated.

The Inventory examines five basic leadership practices: modeling the way, inspiring a shared vision, challenging the process, enabling others to act, encouraging the heart. Each of these leadership practices are measured by six items rated by 10 Point Likert Scale (1= almost never, 10= almost always). Each sub-scale ranges from 6 to 60, with higher scores indicating better transformational practices.
The research team are expecting a change in the transformational leadership practice of the charge nurses from the transformational educational training group as compared with standard educational booklet group.
