Resumo

Introduction: This study adapts the American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE) competency framework for Saudi Arabian hospitals, aiming to validate a standardized tool for nurse administrators. It assesses managerial, relational, and business skills across five competency domains: communication and relationship management, knowledge of the healthcare environment, leadership, professionalism, and business skills.  Methodology: The study conducted a factor analysis using data from 315 respondents to confirm the instrument's strong consistency and construct validity. After that, a pilot study was conducted to assess the validity and consistency of the tool development. A cross-sectional design was applied, and 338 respondents participated in the survey. Findings show that respondents rated themselves highly in leadership (grand weighted mean = 3.55) and professionalism (3.66), while scoring lower in knowledge of the healthcare environment and communication. Conclusion: The study found that respondents are proficient in leadership skills and professionalism and competent in other domains; thus, improvements in these domains are needed. This reliable measure can guide continuing education, workforce planning, and performance appraisal in the Kingdom’s evolving health sector.
