Its toxicity harms the nursing staff’s progress and creates a challenging work environment full of struggles that in turn, produce adverse outcomes on the nursing staff motivation, productivity and cooperation which consequently effect on nursing staff’s job security. Aim of the study : To assess nursing staff’s perception of toxic leadership and job security. Research design : A descriptive - correlational design was applied. Subjects: All nursing staff working at Tanta Main Hospital(n=160), Chest hospital (n=50) Pediatric (n=50) Medical (n=50) was included in this study. Tools: Two tools for data collection were used,the first, Nursing Staff’s Perception of Toxic Leadership Questionnaire and the second, Nursing Staff’ Job Security Scale. Results: about Two thirds (60.0%) of nursing staff had a high perception level of overall toxic Leadership. More than two thirds (63.2%) of nursing staff had a low perception level of overall job security.
