“…Compared with nurses with a lower PsyCap, those with a higher PsyCap are more likely to consider problems from a positive perspective and to recover from failures. In fact, PsyCap, as a positive psychological resource and capabilities of individuals, can significantly predict the innovation behaviour of employees, and it is the primary endogenous element of organisational innovation behaviour (Sameer, ).…”

Aim:To explore the serial-multiple mediation of job control and perceived organisational innovation climate between psychological capital and innovation behaviour among Chinese nurses through structural equation modelling.Background: Nurses' innovation not only promotes the development of the nursing industry but also improves the quality of care and promotes patient prognosis. Thus, it is essential to clarify the factors affecting nurses' innovative behaviour and to provide a theoretical basis for improving nurses' innovative behaviour. Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted among 4,677 Chinese nurses from 18 hospitals. The PCQ-R, Nurses' Job Control Scale, the Nurses' Organizational Innovation Climate Scale, and the Nurses' Innovation Behaviour Scale were used to conduct a questionnaire survey.Results: According to the serial-multiple mediation, the mediating role of job control and perceived organisational innovation climate between psychological capital and innovative behaviour is significant. (Z = 7.25, p < .05). Conclusions:Higher psychological capital can promote nurses' innovation behaviour.Therefore, improving psychological capital can enhance the innovation behaviour of nurses. Implications for Nursing Management:It is essential to change hospital working environments for enhancing the innovation behaviour of health professionals. Managers could promote nurses' innovative behaviour by strengthening nurses' psychological capital.

“…However, in this study, the focus on PsyCap was twofold: on the effects of PsyCap on hospital employees' IIB and on employees in the Norwegian context. According to previous studies, there is a positive link between PsyCap and innovative behavior [27,31,41,42]; this study proposes a positive relationship between PsyCap and IIB among hospital employees. This relationship can be formally stated as the following hypothesis: Hypothesis 1:Psychological capital (PsyCap) is positively related to individual innovative behavior (IIB).…”

Background: Health organization research is experiencing a strong refocus on employees’ individual innovative behavior (IIB), revealing that many of its influential factors at work remain uncertain. Hence, this study empirically examines how hospital employees’ IIB is fostered by focusing on antecedents such as organizational culture (here labeled an internal market-oriented culture, IMOC), psychological capital (PsyCap), and outcomes such as organizational commitment (OC). In addition, the study examines the mediating role of PsyCap.Methods: The study focused on a sample of 1008 hospital employees, using a partial least squares structural equation modeling method to analyze and test the relationships hypothesized in this study. A multigroup comparison was performed to test the heterogeneity of personal characteristics. The indirect effects of PsyCap were tested by mediator analyses.Results: Our results reveal that IMOC has a positive and significant influence on employees’ PsyCap and IIB. PsyCap is directly related to IIB and acts a mediator between IMOC and IIB. Furthermore, the study found that IIB is related to the outcome variable OC.Conclusions: This study extends the current debate on how IIB is fostered at work by examining PsyCap and IMOC as antecedents of IIB. The study has added to the IIB research area by introducing OC as an outcome variable. The study is among the first attempts in its category to contribute to health organizations and managers by empirically examining the influence of IMOC on employees’ PsyCap and IIB and in turn their OC.

“…Los resultados obtenidos permiten una toma de posición frente al rol desempeñado por cada variable. En este sentido, además de ratificar las conexiones positivas entre el CapPsi y las cuatro dimensiones del comportamiento laboral innovador informadas en otros estudios (Abbas y Raja, 2015;Klaeijsen et al, 2018;Montani et al, 2014;Sameer, 2018;Thurlings et al, 2015;Sun y Huang, 2019), el presente trabajo demuestra la mediación parcial ejercida por la pasión armoniosa en tales relaciones.…”

“…Tal es el caso del capital psicológico o CapPsi (Luthans y Youssef-Morgan, 2017). En efecto, distintos autores (Abbas y Raja, 2015;Klaeijsen, Vermeulen y Martens, 2018;Montani, Odoardi y Battistelli, 2014;Sameer, 2018;Thurlings et al, 2015;Sun y Huang, 2019) sugieren vinculaciones significativas entre los recursos psicológicos de los empleados y su conducta innovadora. Asimismo, recientemente se ha postulado (Narang y Bhatnagar, 2017) que ciertos estados positivos podrían intervenir como mecanismos explicativos de diversos comportamientos proactivos, de los cuales la conducta innovadora constituye una variante específica.…”

“…Asimismo, se ha señalado, que este supracosntructo es un antecedente de soluciones más efectivas y de comportamientos originales frente a los problemas, tanto directamente como a través de otros mecanismo mediadores de naturaleza disposicional (Huang y Luthans, 2015;Taştan, 2016). Del mismo modo, distintos estudios (Abbas y Raja, 2015;Klaeijsen et al, 2018;Montani et al, 2014;Sameer, 2018;Thurlings et al, 2015;Sun y Huang, 2019) han puntualizado que los empleados con mayor CapPsi son propensos a generar, promover e implementar exitosamente ideas innovadoras. Con base en tales referentes empíricos se postula que:…”

El comportamiento laboral innovador constituye un conjunto de acciones tendientes a la exploración, generación, socialización y realización de ideas novedosas. Sus determinantes contextuales han sido establecidos por la literatura científica. No obstante, sus antecedentes disposicionales continuan siendo objeto de investigación. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el efecto directo e indirecto del capital psicológico y la pasión por el trabajo sobre el comportamiento innovador. Se diseñó un estudio empírico cuantitativo transversal. Una muestra de 458 docentes de nivel primario (96.4% mujeres; MEdad= 34.67 años; Mantigüedad= 7.77 años) respondieron medidas estandarizadas de las variables. Análisis de mediación indicaron que la pasión armoniosa media parcialmente el efecto positivo del capital psicológico sobre las cuatro dimensiones del comportamiento innovador. Los resultados iluminan la importancia de desarrollar estados positivos en el trabajo como un medio de favorecer la innovación. Se señalan limitaciones del estudio realizado y líneas para la investigación futura.
