目的组织中的领导在塑造员工对组织变革的看法、对组织变革的反应以及对创新的接受方面具有重要作用，例如循证实践。变革型领导激励和激励追随者，而交易型领导更多地基于加强和交流。研究表明，在青年和家庭服务组织中，心理健康提供者对采用循证做法的态度与组织背景和个体提供者的差异有关。本研究的目的是通过检验领导和精神卫生服务提供者对采用循证实践的态度之间的关系来扩展这些研究结果。方法参与调查的是来自49个项目的303名公共部门精神卫生服务临床医生和病例经理，他们为儿童、青少年及其家人提供心理卫生服务。收集了关于提供者的特征、对循证实践的态度以及对其主管领导行为的看法的数据。结果变革型领导和交易型领导均与服务提供者对循证实践的积极态度呈正相关，变革型领导与提供者对当前实践与循证实践差异的感知呈负相关。结论心理健康服务组织可以通过提高变革型和交易型领导技能来为实施循证实践做准备。(精神病学服务57：1162-1169,2006)
ObjectiveLeadership in organizations is important in shaping workers’ perceptions, responses to organizational change, and acceptance of innovations, such as evidence-based practices. Transformational leadership inspires and motivates followers, whereas transactional leadership is based more on reinforcement and exchanges. Studies have shown that in youth and family service organizations, mental health providers’ attitudes toward adopting an evidence-based practice are associated with organizational context and individual provider differences. The purpose of this study was to expand these findings by examining the association between leadership and mental health providers’ attitudes toward adopting evidence-based practice.MethodsParticipants were 303 public-sector mental health service clinicians and case managers from 49 programs who were providing mental health services to children, adolescents, and their families. Data were gathered on providers’ characteristics, attitudes toward evidence-based practices, and perceptions of their supervisors’ leadership behaviors. Zero-order correlations and multilevel regression analyses were conducted that controlled for effects of service providers’ characteristics.ResultsBoth transformational and transactional leadership were positively associated with providers’ having more positive attitudes toward adoption of evidence-based practice, and transformational leadership was negatively associated with providers’ perception of difference between the providers’ current practice and evidence-based practice.ConclusionsMental health service organizations may benefit from improving transformational and transactional supervisory leadership skills in preparation for implementing evidence-based practices.(Psychiatric Services 57: 1162–1169, 2006)
