influence staff in a strategic way. Aim: To assess nurse managers influence
strategies and staff nurses thriving at work. Design: A descriptive correlational
study design was employed to accomplish the objective of the study. Setting: This
study was carried out at Tanta Main University Hospital. Subjects: Two groups,
nurse managers (N=35) and staff nurses (N=260). Tools: Nurse Managers Influence
Strategies and Staff Nurses Thriving at Work Questionnaire. Results: Nearly half

more than third (34.6%) of staff nurses had a high level of thriving at work
.Conclusion: A statistically significant relationship was found between nurse
