Background of the Study
Leadership plays a pivotal role in the efficient management of hospitals, influencing staff performance, patient care, and overall healthcare service delivery. Various leadership styles, including transformational, transactional, autocratic, and democratic leadership, have different effects on hospital management. Effective leadership enhances decision-making, promotes teamwork, and fosters a conducive work environment, ultimately improving healthcare outcomes.
In Yobe State, hospitals face significant management challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, poor staff motivation, and inefficient resource allocation. The leadership approach adopted by hospital administrators greatly influences the ability to address these challenges. However, there is limited research on how different leadership styles impact hospital management and healthcare service delivery in the state.
This study seeks to examine the leadership styles adopted in hospitals in Yobe State and their impact on management efficiency, employee satisfaction, and patient care.
Statement of the Problem
Many hospitals in Yobe State experience management inefficiencies, leading to poor service delivery, staff dissatisfaction, and resource misallocation. The leadership approach taken by hospital administrators is a key determinant of these outcomes. However, there is a lack of empirical studies on how different leadership styles influence hospital performance in Yobe State. This study aims to bridge this gap by evaluating the leadership styles in hospitals and their impact on healthcare management.
