The healthcare industry continues to grow and change, and if the current system of healthcare is used, there will be a shortage of 20,400 primary care physicians by the year 2020. The expansion and popularity of retail medical clinics is evident across the country. Nurse practitioners are poised to provide cost-efficient care at these retail clinics in order for consumers to have a healthcare alternative. Leadership and retention of employees are imperative organizational behavior components that were relevant to this study. Empirical research has proven that behaviors presented by transformational leaders are beneficial to individuals and the outcomes of an organization. The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the relationship between the transformational leadership styles of retail clinic supervising nurse practitioners and the retention of the retail clinic nurse practitioners they supervise. This study used a quantitative, correlational approach using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire and the Anticipated Turnover Scale. A convenience sample of 41 nurse practitioners practicing in retail health clinics in the State of North Carolina participated in the study. The study indicated statistically significant evidence that individually, four out of the five perceived leadership styles were statistically correlated with anticipated turnover (Idealized Influence-Attributed, rs(39)=-0.51, p=0.001: Idealized Influence-Behavior, rs(39)=-0.37, p=0.018: Inspirational Motivation, rs(39)=-0.31, p=0.05: Intellectual Stimulation rs(39)=-0.44, p=0.004: Individualized Consideration was not a statistically significant correlation rs(39)=-0.30, p=0.061. Specifically, the more the supervising nurse practitioner is perceived to have a transformational leadership style, the less likely the retail clinic nurse practitioner is to quit their job. There was insufficient evidence to suggest that when controlling for the number of years of experience as a nurse practitioner, a perception of more than one leadership style better predicts anticipated turnover than a single transformation leadership style alone (F(2, 38)=8.69, p=0.001). Recommendations for further research include the need for studies that have larger samples of retail clinic nurse practitioners. It would also be recommended to investigate response differences to the same research tools used in this study to nurse practitioners not working in retail medical settings.
