Abstract
AimTo report an analysis of the concept of authentic leadership.DesignConcept analysis.Data SourcesData sources included core databases: CINAHL, PubMed, Embase, ProQuest, APA PsycINFO, ERIC, ABI/Inform and Tomlinson's Nursing Core Collection (2010).MethodsWalker and Avant's method was used to identify descriptions, antecedents, consequences and empirical referents of the concept. Model, related and contrary cases were developed.ResultsDefining attributes were identified as self‐awareness, transparency, balanced processing, internalised moral perspective, caring, shared decision making and moral/ethical courage. Antecedents were authenticity, positive psychological capacities, life experiences, leadership development programme, supportive organisational climate and an ethical climate. Consequences are employee well‐being and satisfaction, positive work environment and enhanced performance and safety.ConclusionWhile authentic leadership is an emerging and popular leadership approach, there are gaps in relation to agreed definitions. Moreover, core textbooks within the subject area also fail to provide these definitions. This concept analysis represents the first comprehensive and robust analysis of the concept of authentic leadership that will serve to reliably inform research, education and practice.Implications for the Profession and/or Patient CareThis analysis reveals that authentic leadership can have a positive effect on staff well‐being and satisfaction, their work environment, performance and ultimately safety. This has potential for a positive impact on patient care and patient outcomes by fostering an ethical and supportive work environment.ImpactThis study revealed a new comprehensive understanding of authentic leadership that provides conceptual clarity that will guide research and practice in the field, which refines the existing understanding, highlighting essential attributes and their relevance in nursing practice.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution.
