Abstract

(1) Background: The nurse manager competency model is widely used in hospitals in the management of nursing human resources. This study aimed to construct a scientific and practical model of nurse manager competency, which can be used as a tool by hospitals to select nurse managers. (2) Methods: The nurses’ competency indicators were first collected through a literature review and behavioral event interview, and the preliminary screening of competency elements was based on the Delphi method. Then, questionnaires and statistical analyses were used to determine the elements of the model. The reliability was determined using Cronbach’s alpha. Factor analysis was used to delineate the dimensions of the model. (3) Results: The results of the factor analysis show that the 22 competency elements were grouped into the four dimensions of leadership and management ability, personal traits, professional quality, and professional ability. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of the four dimensions ranged from 0.745 to 0.885, which indicated a high level of reliability. The result of the factor analysis indicated a high structural validity and fitting effect. (4) Conclusions: Our study indicates that the nurse manager competency model of tertiary general hospitals is an instrument with fair reliability and validity that fully reflects the characteristics of nurses in Chinese public hospitals.
