Abstract: 
This article is a component of a more extensive investigation into the value of nursing and includes literature search results from online resources. Understanding numerous leadership theories, including authentic, servant, and congruent leadership, is necessary to comprehend values-based leadership in nursing. The terms values-based, authentic, servant and congruent leadership were used to search electronic databases for relevant studies. The available research focuses on certain viewpoints within the three primary leadership philosophies that fall under the values-based leadership umbrella: authentic, servant, and congruent leadership. Only a small body of research demonstrates that values-based leadership can foster professional collaboration, improve nurse trust and voice, and promote staff wellbeing, empowerment, work satisfaction, patient-focused results, and excellent care. There needs to be more empirical literature on values-based leadership in nursing. Evidence reveals a connection between values-based leadership theories, fundamental nursing principles, and authentic, servant, and congruent leadership. Nurse managers ought to be aware of the possible advantages of a values-based leadership strategy for staff well-being increased professional collaboration and the nurses' voice, improved insight into clinical leadership qualities, and improvements in the caliber of patient care.
The results emphasize how crucial it is to comprehend values, their significance in nursing, and how values are created. The value of nursing is said to be affected by cultural change, globalization, technological improvement, and medical progress. These elements are essential to creating a better organized and scientific understanding of nursing, improving patient care within a supportive and harmonious organization, and increasing nurses' job satisfaction and retention. The results of this analysis have consequences for those who develop policies about recruiting, retention, and estimating the overall worth of nursing.
