Leaders' innovation expectation and nurses' innovation behaviour in conjunction with artificial intelligence: The chain mediation of job control and creative self‐efficacy

Abstract

AIM: The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of leaders' innovation expectation on nurses' innovation behaviour in conjunction with artificial intelligence, as well as explore the chain mediating effect of job control and creative self-efficacy between leaders' innovation expectation and nurses' innovation behaviour. BACKGROUND: The nurses' innovation behaviour is crucial in promoting medical artificial intelligence. Thus, clarifying the influencing factors of nurses' innovation behaviour has become a priority. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 263 Chinese nurses from tertiary hospitals and secondary hospitals in Hefei, Anhui province. RESULTS: Leaders' innovation expectation was positively related to nurses' innovation behaviour. Creative self-efficacy and job control respectively mediated the relationship between leaders' innovation expectation and nurses' innovation behaviour. Furthermore, creative self-efficacy and job control played a chain mediation role between leaders' innovation expectation and nurses' innovation behaviour. CONCLUSION: Leaders' innovation expectation helps to enhance nurses' creative self-efficacy and job control, thereby enhancing nurses' enthusiasm for innovation. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Hospital managers and leaders formulate intervention measures to increase leaders' innovation expectation, nurses' creative self-efficacy and job control, and encourage nurses' innovation behaviour.
