Abstract

A more suitable organizational climate needs to be created for healthcare workers to be able to exhibit innovative work behaviors. Employees who meet their professional and work requirements in a safe workplace in peace will be able to exhibit more innovative behaviors. In this context, this study investigates the impact of healthcare personnel’s perceptions of organizational climate in public hospitals on their innovative work behaviors. Furthermore, it seeks to determine whether perceptions of safety indirectly influence this relationship. The study used convenience sampling and a survey method to collect data from 202 healthcare workers employed in Artvin Province, Türkiye. The results of the analysis revealed, that perceptions of organizational climate positively and significantly influence innovative work behaviors (ϸ = 0.529, 95 % CI [0.425, 0.685]). A notable finding of the study is that perceptions of organizational climate exert a significant and substantial indirect effect on innovative work behaviors (ϸ = 0.184, 95 % CI [0.055, 0.2966]) through safety perceptions.

探索医疗创新：安全感知在组织氛围与创新工作行为之间的中介作用

需要为医护人员创造一个更合适的组织氛围，使他们能够表现出创新的工作行为。在一个安全、平和的工作环境中满足自己的专业和工作要求的员工，将能够表现出更多的创新行为。在此背景下，本研究调查了公立医院医护人员对组织氛围的感知对其创新工作行为的影响。此外，它试图确定是否感知安全间接影响这种关系。本研究采用方便抽样和问卷调查的方法，收集了基耶省阿尔特温省202名医护人员的数据。分析结果显示，组织氛围感知对创新工作行为有显著的正向影响（ = 0.529, 95% CI[0.425, 0.685]）。本研究的一个显著发现是，组织氛围感知通过安全感知对创新工作行为产生显著且实质性的间接影响（ = 0.184, 95% CI[0.055, 0.2966]）。
