  • Title: Innovative behavior in nurse executives.
    Author: Adams CE.
    Journal: Nurs Manage; 1994 May; 25(5):44-7, 50. PubMed ID: 8196881.
    Abstract:
    This study addresses the problem-solving styles of hospital nurse executives and explores the relationship between problem-solving style and leader effectiveness. The Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory (KAI) and the Leader Effectiveness and Adaptability Description-Self (LEAD-S) were the instruments used to survey nurse executives from 66 medium-sized urban California hospitals. The majority of respondents used innovative approaches, but no correlation was found between problem-solving style and leader effectiveness.
