Survey on Positive Leadership and Health Outcomes Among Swiss Hospital Nurses

A 2026 cross-sectional survey of 211 nurses and nurse managers from an acute care hospital in German-speaking Switzerland. The dataset, authored by Christoph Golz, includes responses to the PERMA-Lead Profiler and Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire scales, measuring leadership perceptions, job satisfaction, burnout symptoms, and intention to leave the profession.

Use Cases

• Analyzing associations between positive leadership dimensions and nurse retention based on the PERMA-Lead model.
• Investigating group differences in leadership perceptions between managers and non-management staff.
• Modeling the relationship between workplace psychosocial factors and job satisfaction or burnout symptoms.

Strengths

• Includes 211 survey responses from a defined hospital setting.
• Uses validated instruments: the PERMA-Lead Profiler and Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire scales.
• Statistical analysis includes multiple linear regression with robust standard errors and sensitivity analyses.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single hospital in Switzerland.
