| description | Background: Rapidly developing information and technology require the employment of nurses with innovative work behaviors in health care systems. Making nurses' innovative behaviors visible is possible by improving their commitment to the organization.
Aim: This study aimed to determine the relationship between organizational commitment and innovative work behaviors within the framework of social exchange theory.
Method: This study which was planned in a descriptive and cross-sectional design was conducted with 235 nurses working in hospitals on the European side of Istanbul between June and July 2022. Data were collected through a self-report-based survey consisting of three parts: individual and professional characteristics form, Organizational Commitment Scale, and Innovative Behavior Scale. Descriptive tests, independent groups t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation analysis, and simple and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data.
Results: It was determined that nurses' organizational commitment was at a medium level (Mean=2.97; SD=0.68) and their innovative work behavior was above a moderate level (Mean=3.90; SD=0.72). It was determined that there was a positive, significant relationship between nurses' organizational commitment levels and innovative work behaviors (r=0.20; p<0.05). Nurses' organizational commitment level explained 4% of their innovative work behaviors (F=9.758; p<0.01; R2=0.04). It was determined that a one-point increase in the organizational commitment level increased innovative work behaviors by 0.215 points (B=0.215; p<0.01).
Conclusion: It was concluded that nurses' organizational commitment levels affected their innovative work behaviors. It is recommended that nurse managers identify and evaluate the antecedents to increasing organizational commitment and plan strategies to develop innovative organizational culture. |
