Abstract
An evidence-based leadership (EBL) framework is an intervention designed to facilitate organizational changes such as the reduction of nursing turnover and the improvement of nursing job enjoyment. This project provides an overview of the effect of nursing turnover on an organization, presents the components of the EBL framework, and provides an evaluation of the influence of EBL on nursing turnover and job enjoyment. The EBL framework provided a method for reducing variance in leadership skill and behavior by outlining specific methods necessary to reduce inconsistency. The project objective was to determine if the implementation of an EBL framework for 820 nursing staff in 10 clinical units at a tertiary medical center improved turnover and job satisfaction, as evidenced by turnover data from the unit-specific dashboards and the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) job enjoyment scores.
