Keywords:

This is a cross-sectional research, aimed at examining the association of self-leadership, emotional intelligence, organizational climate, and their impact on the job performance of registered nurses at the Medical Correctional Institution. The population of the study consisted of 134 registered nurses working at the Medical Correctional Institution, without random sampling. The research instrument was a questionnaire, validated for content and tested for reliability. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, and Chi-square tests.
The results indicated that self-leadership, emotional intelligence, and organizational climate were significantly correlated with the job performance of registered nurses at the Medical Correctional Institution at the 0.01 level. Registered nurses with a high level of self-leadership (X² = 55.391, p < .001) demonstrated a high level of job performance. Similarly, registered nurses with a high emotional intelligence (X² = 38.623, p < .001) also showed a high level of job performance. Additionally, registered nurses working in a positive organizational atmosphere (X² = 44.275, p < .001) had a high level of job performance.
Based on these findings, policy recommendations suggest that hospital administrators should focus on providing training skills related to nursing activities, self-leadership, and emotional intelligence. Additionally, efforts should be made to enhance the organizational atmosphere in order for registered nurses to perform their duties effectively.
