Abstract: The purpose of the study was to examine differences in leadership styles among hospital supervisors based on their demographic characteristics of age, gender, educational level, and years of experience. A total of (N = 240) randomly selected supervisors, ages 20 – 70 years, from four randomly selected hospitals in the southern region of the United States voluntarily participated in the study. Hersey’s perspective of Situational Leadership® was used as a conceptual framework for this study. The Leadership Effectiveness Adaptability Descriptor (LEAD) was used to collect data on leadership styles, while demographic data was collected using demographic survey designed by the researcher. The results of the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) failed to reveal any significant differences in leadership styles among supervisors based on demographic characteristics of age, gender, educational level, and experience in years.
