TI  - The Trend of Authentic Leadership Skills in Nursing Education: The Key Role of 
      Perfectionism and Self-Efficacy.

AB  - (1) Background: Shaping leadership skills is a complex process, which may be 
      modified by psychological factors such as self-efficacy and perfectionism. The 
      aim of the study was to determine whether perfectionism can be a mediator between 
      self-efficacy, and authentic leadership skills in nursing students; (2) Methods: 
      The cross-sectional study included 615 Polish nursing students (women = 96.3%) 
      was carried out at Medical University of Warsaw in 2019. The following research 
      tools were used: Authentic Leadership Questionnaire, Almost Perfect Scale-Revised 
      (APS-R), and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES); (3) Results: The level of 
      perfectionism is a significant mediator of relations between self-efficacy as 
      measured by the GSES and the level of authentic leadership (Sobel test: t = 
      6.958; p < 0.000). The relation, without a mediating factor, is positive, and the 
      standardized beta coefficient for the feeling of self-efficacy totals beta = 
      0.470 (p < 0.000), while in the presence of a mediator the strength of the 
      correlation is smaller and amounts to beta = 0.366 (p < 0.000); (4) Conclusions: 
      Personality factors such as self-efficacy and perfectionism play an important 
      role in shaping AL skills of nursing students. Therefore, academic teachers 
      should pay special attention to strengthening students' self-efficacy and 
      adaptive perfectionism. In this context, adequate feedback and reflection may be 
      important.
