Background: There is an increasing need for millennial psychiatric nurses in health care. Nurses' levels of satisfaction with their manager's leadership styles are critical to their remaining in the profession.

Aim: To explore the relationship between the roles of nursing leadership and their influence on the millennial psychiatric nurse's level of job satisfaction and intent to leave.

Method: Eighty-three psychiatric registered nurses between the ages of 22 and 37 with 6 months or more experience completed a Managerial Skills and Job Satisfaction Survey questionnaire.

Results: The millennial psychiatric nurse who perceived their managers to display the roles in being a mentor ( = 24.95, = 2.81), director ( = 23.08, = 2.55), and monitor ( = 22.71, = 2.51) had higher job satisfaction and would be less likely to leave the specialty, current position, and organization.

Conclusion: The study revealed that nursing leaders need to focus on strengthening the monitor and mentor roles and work on changing from having a coordinator role to the director role.
