A 9-item demographic information form and 21-item praetorianistic leadership scale were used in the research. Data were collected online between September and November 2021. Normality tests, t test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze the data. Results: It was determined that the nurses' age, education level, working year and the units they worked in showed a statistically significant difference with praetorianistic behaviors. (p < .05). Conclusion: It has been determined that praetorianistic leadership behavior in nurses increases as the age and seniority of the nurses increase. It was found that praetorianistic leadership decreased as the education level of nurses increased, while praetorianistic behaviors increased in intense and stressful working environments.
