There is strong evidence emphasizing the pivotal role leaders play in fostering retention through positive practices. As new graduate nurses are crucial to the healthcare team, targeted strategies by nursing leaders and managers are needed to enhance nurse retention. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between transformational leadership and new graduate nurses’ turnover intention, and organizational commitment. Methods: The study included 106 registered nurses who passed the NCLEX-RN between March 2020 and February 2023. Data was collected through the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire-5X, Turnover Intention Scale-6 and Three-Component Model Employee Commitment Survey. A descriptive correlational design was used to conduct this study with descriptive statistics and Kendall tau-b correlation. Results: A significant negative correlation was found between transformational leadership and turnover intention among new graduate nurses (τb = -.352, p < .001). Conclusion: Nursing leaders must possess the necessary leadership skills rooted in the nursing model to promote transformational leadership and foster an intention to stay among new graduate nurses.","abstract_html":"Introduction: The nursing shortage in the Canadian healthcare system presents challenges in meeting the healthcare needs of the population and addressing the growing demand for health services.
