Liderazgo, Satisfacción, Salud, LaboralResumen
La satisfacción laboral en el personal sanitario es un tema fundamental para garantizar una atención de calidad y un ambiente de trabajo saludable. Cuando se centra en el liderazgo, se analiza cómo las prácticas de liderazgo influyen en el bienestar, motivación y compromiso del personal médico y de enfermería. Esta revisión bibliográfica examinó diversos estudios que exploran la relación entre el liderazgo y la satisfacción laboral en el sector salud, utilizando análisis de la literatura existente. La evidencia sugiere consistentemente que estilos de liderazgo transformacional, de servicio y auténtico se asocian positivamente con una mayor satisfacción laboral, al fomentar el apoyo, el reconocimiento y el crecimiento. En contraste, estilos autocráticos y laissez-faire tienden a generar insatisfacción. Se concluye que un liderazgo eficaz y adaptado al contexto sanitario es fundamental para cultivar un ambiente de trabajo positivo, mejorar la moral del personal y, en última instancia, optimizar los resultados para los pacientes y las organizaciones de salud.
