Abstract

The analytical research design was to examine the relationship model among environmental supports, knowledge skills and ability, personality characteristics, and orientations on personal initiative of head nurses in private hospitals. The conceptual framework of this research study was synthesized from personal initiative model by Frese and Fay6. The research samples were 262 head nurses in different JCI private hospitals in Thailand. Data were collected with 7 questionnaires and using, the level of cronbach’s alpha coefficient in the range of .78 -.89. respectively. All data were analyzed with descriptive and path analysis statistics.

The results showed; an environmental supports, personality characteristics, and orientations had direct effect on personal initiative (β = .23, .09 and .50 respectively), and environmental supports, knowledge skills and ability, had indirect effect on personal initiative with mediator orientations (β = .19, .44 and .27 respectively), which all variables had predicted personal initiative at 51% (R2 = .51, p < .01). The correlational model was congruent with the empirical data (P-value = .307, χ2 = 1.044, DF = 1, CMIN/DF = 1.044, GFI = .998, AGFI = .976, RMR = .060, CFI = .1.000, RMR = .000, RMSEA = .013). The private hospital administrators and nursing executives should have a policy to continuously develop the environmental supports, knowledge skills and ability, personality characteristics, and orientations according to the changing situation in which enhancing the personal initiative behaviors level of the head nurses.
