Abstract

Objective To understand the current situation of nurses’ innovative behavior in China and explore the mediating role of job control between transformational leadership and nurses’ innovation behaviors. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 3 987 nurses in 18 hospitals in eastern,central,and western China with the Transformational Leadership Questionnaire,Nurse Innovation Behavior Scale,and Nurse Job Control Scale. Results The mean score of nurses’ innovative behaviors was(3.07±0.66). The mediating effect test showed that job control had a mediating effect(β=0.106,P<0.001) between transformational leadership and nurses’ innovation behavior,accounting for 46.09% of the total effect. Conclusion The level of nurses’ innovative behavior is at medium. Nurse managers need to improve nurses’ job control by changing their leadership style and increasing work authorization to enhance nurses’ innovative behavior further.
