The Relationship of Nursing Work Environment and Innovation Support with Nurses' Innovative Behaviors and Outputs.

AIM
To determine the relationship of nursing work environment and innovation support with nurses' innovative behaviors and innovation outputs.


BACKGROUND
According to the Social Exchange Theory, nursing work environment must be regulated to support innovation for nurses' innovative behaviors which results in useful innovation outputs.


METHODS
The sample of the research determined using the convenience sampling method consisted of 618 nurses working in four hospitals in Istanbul. In statistical analysis of the data, descriptive analyses, correlation and linear regression analysis were used.


RESULTS
It was found a significant correlation between nursing work environment and innovation support with innovative behavior and innovation outputs. It was found that innovative behavior was the variable that had a significant impact on nurses' innovation outputs and the model explained 40.1% of the variance of innovation outputs. The model created for innovative behavior was determined to have an explanatory variance of 19.4%.


CONCLUSIONS
This study reveals the necessity for developing nurses' innovative behaviors to increase innovation outputs, and examines the relationship of nurses' innovative behaviors with nursing work environment and innovation support.


IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT
Nurse managers should create a nursing work environment that supports and develops nurses' innovative behaviors.
