title: The impact of problem-solving styles of nurse executives and executive officers on tenure.
abstract: Stability in the chief nurse executive (CNE) position contributes to organizational efficiency, effectiveness, and success; yet, CNE turnover remains relatively high. In this study, the relationship between the problem-solving styles of CNEs and their chief executive officers (CEOs) and CNE tenure was studied. Data showed that the problem-solving style of the CNE/CEO pair was related to CNE tenure. The author discusses implications for CNE/CEO pairs and for CNEs who value job stability.
