Inclusive leadership, self-efficacy and organization-based self-esteem (OBSE) are important psychosocial factors affecting job performance. However, few studies have explored the relationships among these factors in critical care nurses.</p><p><strong>Aims: </strong>To examine the impact of inclusive leadership on the job performance of intensive care nurses and to explore the potential mediation through self-efficacy and OBSE.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A cross-sectional survey design was employed. Between November and December 2023, a total of 460 intensive care nurses from China completed the survey, which included standard assessments on inclusive leadership, self-efficacy, OBSE, and job performance. Mediation analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling. Indirect effects were evaluated through bootstrapping.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The results indicated significant positive correlations among inclusive leadership, self-efficacy, OBSE, and job performance (all P < 0.01). Inclusive leadership not only directly affected the job performance of intensive care nurses but also influenced it through the partial mediating roles of self-efficacy and OBSE, with the mediating effects accounting for 14.29 % and 30.61 % of the total effect, respectively. Additionally, the analysis found that self-efficacy and OBSE played a chain mediating role in the relationship between inclusive leadership and the job performance, with the mediating effect accounting for 22.45 % of the total effect.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Inclusive leadership positively predict the job performance of intensive care nurses. Self-efficacy and OBSE act as mediating factors, further explaining how inclusive leadership improves the job performance of intensive care nurses.</p><p><strong>Implications for clinical practice: </strong>Enhancing inclusive leadership can be achieved through targeted training programs that emphasize open communication, team collaboration, and recognition of diverse perspectives. For example, leadership workshops can include role-playing scenarios that promote active listening and constructive feedback. Furthermore, boosting self-efficacy and OBSE is essential, as these variables significantly mediate the relationship between inclusive leadership and job performance. Encouraging mentorship and providing opportunities for professional development can help nurses build their confidence and organizational identity, ultimately leading to improved performance and patient care outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":94043,"journal":{"name":"Intensive & critical care nursing","volume":" ","pages":"103880"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142585417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
