“…However, innovative culture predicts innovative behaviour more than an ethical climate with the developmental contribution of psychological empowerment (Table 3). Our findings support the previous research that EC has been positively associated with job satisfaction (Fradelos et al, 2022).…”

Aims This study investigates the effects of ethical climate and innovative culture on the hospital nurses' job performance and innovative behaviour with the mediating factor of psychological empowerment. Background Hospital nurses have an opportunity to embrace innovative behaviours and increase their performance through a positive ethical climate and innovative culture. Understanding nurses' psychological empowerment in the workspace context that impacts innovation has not been a focus for hospital leadership. Methods A cross‐sectional study based on a questionnaire design was used for data collection and analysis. The data are collected through a voluntary survey—selected by a convenience sampling method—of 393 nurses from University Hospital. The Structural Equation Model and Bootstrap method test the study's hypotheses. A STROBE checklist was used for reporting. Results Ethical climate and innovative culture predict job performance and innovative behaviour with the mediating role of psychological empowerment. Moreover, psychological empowerment decreases the predictive power of ethical climate and innovative culture separately but increases the nurses' job performance and innovative culture. Conclusions Ethical climate and innovative culture significantly positively affect job performance and innovative behaviour. Additionally, the mediating effect of psychological empowerment increases job performance and innovative behaviour more than the effects of ethical climate and innovative culture. Implications for Nursing Management Nurses need to be prepared to practice safely, accurately and compassionately by translating moral values into rules of the nursing profession, where innovation increases at an astonishing rate. Nurse leaders and hospital managers should establish ethical norms as the consensus of ultimate criteria of validity of the rational analysis of tasks or particular nursing practice concepts, with an innovative culture by empowering nurses exceedingly in their workplace.

“…Similar results have been found in nursing, where hospital regulations are crucial for a supportive ethical environment [26]. Our study also highlighted certain elements, such as productivity standards, billing practices, and organizational aspects of the hospital, as areas of concern for physical therapists, leading the perception of being financially driven at the expense of patient care [22].…”

(1) Background: This study aimed to examine the relationship between Spanish physical therapists’ perceptions of the ethical climate, their moral sensitivity (awareness of ethical issues), and job satisfaction. (2) Methods: the study analyzed descriptive correlational data on 104 physical therapists from three Spanish metropolitan hospitals. Respondents completed a demographic data form, an ethical climate questionnaire, a job satisfaction survey, and a moral sensitivity scale. This study complies with the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines. (3) Results: With a mean score of 4.2, physical therapists are typically content with their jobs. The mean scores for the moral sensitivity and ethical climate questionnaires are high, at 40.1 (SD 6.3) and 96.8 (SD 17.1), respectively. There is a significant positive correlation between job satisfaction and ethical climate (r between 0.59 and 0.79) but only a weak correlation between job satisfaction and moral sensibility (r between 0 and 0.32 for the three aspects measured). (4) Conclusions: Generally speaking, physical therapists reported that they had high job satisfaction, a positive workplace environment, and excellent management support. Despite a weak relationship with moral sensibility, there is a strong association between ethical behavior, hospital organization, and higher levels of job satisfaction. It is important to encourage the development of moral sensibilities to boost psychological well-being and therapeutic decision-making.

“…Participants' overall quality of working life was lower than that of nurses working in Iran (Lebni et al, 2021). Similarly, average satisfaction score was lower than that reported by nurses in the Philippines (Barandino & Soriano, 2019) and Athens (Fradelos et al, 2021). This is consistent with the result that patient safety incidents affect the quality of work life (Burlison et al, 2021).…”

Aim We investigated the impact of patient safety incidents on the quality of nurses' work‐related lives, based on the Culture–Work–Health model. Design Descriptive correlational study. Methods An online survey was administered between March 10 and 18, 2020 to 622 nurses in South Korea who had experienced patient safety incidents within the past year. Descriptive analysis was performed along with inferential statistics, including one‐way ANOVA, correlation, and multiple linear regression ( p < 0.05). Results A multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify factors affecting participants' quality of work‐related life. Significantly influential factors were resonant leadership, just culture, organizational support, organizational health, and overall work experience. Conclusions Resonant leadership and culture positively affects nurses' quality of work‐related life. Therefore, it is critical to evaluate nurses' perceptions of these factors and use these factors in creating administrative interventions to assist nurses in improving their work experiences.
