Effective nursing management and leadership are essential for the provision of desired patient care that will contribute to the improvement of any country‘s health indicators. Objective: To assess managerial decision making involvement and associated factors by nurse managers at selected public hospitals, Tigray, north Ethiopia, in 2015. Methods: Institution based cross sectional study design was used. Sample size was 113 and selected using simple random sampling technique. Odds Ratio and 95% Confidence interval were calculated. A binary logistic regression with its statistical significance and multivariate analysis was employed. Result: Of the total respondents majority, 71(68.9%) of them didn‘t involve in managerial decision making. Those nurse mangers who were working in surgical ward 15.74 were more times likely to be involved in managerial decision making than those working in medical ward:[AOR =15.74 (95%CI: 1.32-186.99)]. Those nurse mangers who were working in ICU 86.6 times were more likely to be involved in managerial decision making than those working in medical ward :[AOR =86.6 (95%CI: 2.71 -2764.78)]. Matrons were 18.61 times more likely to be involved in managerial decision making than head nurse: [AOR= 18.61 (95CI%:1.03-335.41)] The odds of involvement of decision making among the respondents who had poor knowledge and skill were 2.56 lower than the odds of the respondents who hadn‘t poor knowledge and skill towards decision making: [AOR = 0.39( 95% CI (0.14-0.78)] Conclusion and recommendation Majority respondents were not involved in managerial decision making.
