Abstract

Background: The volume-based, fee-for-service financial reimbursement system is being
replaced in the healthcare industry by a value-based purchasing strategy. These changes have
resulted in substantial challenges for the delivery of care. Hospital administration must alter the way
treatment is provided in order to lower costs, improve safety outcomes, and increase productivity
and effectiveness. Aim: The study aims to investigate the effect of talent management training
program on leadership effectiveness and emotional intelligence among nurse managers. Research
design :this study used a quasi-experimental research design.. Setting: The study was conducted at
three of Minia University Hospitals (The Pediatrics and Gynecology University Hospital, Renal and
Urology University Hospital & The Liver University Hospital). Subjects: All nurse managers
worked in selected hospitals (n = 53) are included in the study. Tools: four tools were used in this
study; talent management knowledge questionnaire, talent management practice scale, leadership
effectiveness Scale, and emotional intelligence Scale. Results: Before the program's implementation,
nurse managers' levels of talent management practice and overall knowledge were low; after the
program's implementation, they had higher scores with statistically significant differences;
additionally, the leadership effectiveness and emotional intelligence scores increased. Conclusions:
The implementation of a training program greatly enhanced head nurses' understanding of and
practices in talent management. It also significantly increased their levels of leadership effectiveness
and emotional intelligence. Following the program's implementation, there was a highly statistically
significant positive association between head nurses' scores for overall talent management
knowledge and practices, overall leadership effectiveness, and emotional intelligence.
Recommendations: providing all head nurses, especially newly hired nurse managers, with
refresher training in leadership development and talent management.
