dc.description.abstractPurpose: This paper aims to examine the leadership competencies of first-line nurse managers (FLNMs) at the unit level in the eastern region of Ghana. Design/methodology/approach – The paper has a quantitative cross-section design. Findings: Nurse managers exhibited a moderate level of knowledge and ability to apply leadership competencies. Gender, rank, qualification, professional experience, management experience and management training jointly predicted the leadership competencies of FLNMs [(R2 = 0.158, p = 0.016)]. However, only management training was a significant predictor in the model. Practical implications: inappropriate leadership competencies have severe consequences for patients and staff outcomes. This situation necessitates a call for a well-structured program for the appointment of FLNMs based on competencies. Originality/value: This study is the first in Ghana which we are aware of to examine the leadership competencies at the unit level that identify predictors of leadership competencies.en_US
