Introduction: The purpose of this study was to design a model for empowering nursing managers. The present study is developmental in terms of purpose and descriptive-exploratory in terms of method. Interview tools were used to collect qualitative data. The target population in this study is nursing managers in teaching hospitals of Tehran University.
Methods: The sampling method in this study is either theoretical or theoretical. The Grounded Theory strategy with the Strauss and Corbin approach was used to design the empowerment model for nursing managers. Based on open and axial coding results, causal factors affecting the empowerment of nursing managers are educational systems; effective communication, organizational rules and plans, and moral oriented and professional leadership. Also, flexible organizational structure, eminent human resource treasure, effective technology infrastructure and administrative processes are important contextual factors for empowering nursing managers.
Results: The results of the central coding of confounding factors in empowering nursing managers show that managerial challenges, organizational challenges and nursing personnel issues are among the intervening factors in empowering nursing managers. On the other hand, developing motivational programs, organizing legal issues, developing training programs, and strengthening order and organization within the organization are among the most important strategies of this model. Also, improving organizational performance, enhancing nurses 'empowerment, and improving managers' empowerment are the most important consequences of empowering nursing managers.
Conclusions: Empowering nursing managers does not happen by accident. The presence of leaders who believe in the use of organizational systems and infrastructure, including systems for reviewing proposals, succession planning, inclusive and effective communication based on organizational ethics, and leading organizational rules, provide the necessary motivation and driver to move towards empowerment.
