Positive Leadership and Health Outcomes Survey of 211 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, and intention to leave.

Use Cases

• Modeling the association between positive leadership dimensions and intention to leave the profession based on PERMA-Lead scores.
• Analyzing group differences in leadership perceptions between managers and non-management nursing staff.
• Investigating the relationship between core work resources, work-private life conflict, and job satisfaction outcomes.
• Conducting sensitivity analyses on regression model specifications for psychosocial outcomes in healthcare settings.

Strengths

• Includes validated psychometric scales (PERMA-Lead Profiler, Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire).
• Analysis controlled for established workplace factors and used multiple imputation for missing data.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is from a single hospital with a 23% response rate, which may limit generalizability.
