Nursing Leadership (CJNL), 22(3) 2009: 48-67
Effects of Leadership and Span of Control on Nurses' Job Satisfaction and Patient Satisfaction
Amy Sanchez McCutcheon, Diane Doran, Martin Evans, Linda McGillis Hall and Dorothy Pringle

Abstract:
Background: Hospital restructuring has resulted in nurse managers' having direct responsibility for a greatly expanded number of units and staff. However, very little research has examined the impact of these larger spans of control on nurse and patient outcomes.
Objective: This study examined the relationships between leadership style, span of control, nurses' job satisfaction and patient satisfaction, as well as the moderating effect of span of control on the relationship between leadership style and the two outcomes.
