: Background: The nursing work environments had the characteristics of the workplace that promote or hinder the provision of professional care by nurses. Positive work environments lead to better health outcomes including job involvement and readiness for change among staff nurses. Aim: assess the relationship between professional nursing practice environment, job involvement and readiness to change among staff nurses. Research Design: A descriptive correlational design was utilized to achieve the aim of this study. Setting: The study was conducted at Benha University Hospital in critical care units . Sample: Convenience sample of (225) staff nurses were included in the study . Tools of data collection: Data was collected by using three main tools namely; Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI), Job Involvement Questionnaire, and Readiness for change scale. Results: The majority of staff nurses (84.0%) reported for favorable/ positive environment, and majority (87.1%) of them had high level of job involvement. Also, (73.3%) of them had high readiness to change level. Conclusion: There was a statistically significant relation between total scores of professional nursing practice environment, total scores of job involvement, and total scores of readiness to change among staff nurses Recommendations: Hospital administrators suggested maintaining a positive and desirable environment for staff nurses to increase job involvement to retain in the organization to achieve organizational goals.
