Abstract

Introduction: Governmental university hospitals in Thailand face significant challenges in enhancing their healthcare services amid rapid technological advancement and innovation. Promoting innovative work behavior among professional nurses is crucial, as it enhances service efficiency, improves patient care quality, and strengthens hospitals' competitive capabilities.

Research objectives: To examine factors predicting innovative work behavior among nurses in governmental university hospitals.

Research methodology: This predictive correlational study included a sample of 210 registered nurses working in three governmental university hospitals. Data were collected online via Google form using the lifelong learning questionnaire, innovative leadership questionnaire, organizational innovation climate questionnaire, and innovative work behavior questionnaire. The questionnaires demonstrated content validity (CVI = .88 - .94) and reliability (α = .88 - .97). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis.

Results: The innovative work behavior of professional nurses in governmental university hospitals was overall at a moderate level (M = 3.49, SD = .76). Lifelong learning, innovative leadership, and organizational innovation climate were positively correlated with innovative work behavior (r = .683, .524, and .499 respectively, p < .05). The multiple regression analysis indicated that these three factors collectively predicted innovative work behavior at 54.30% (R² = .543, p < .05).

Conclusion:Lifelong learning, innovative leadership, and organizational innovation climate influence the innovative work behavior of professional nurses.

Implications: This research provides information for nursing administrators to establish policies and implement programs that promote increased innovative work behavior among professional nurses.
