PLoS One January 1, 2024 Zhangyi Wang, Yue Zhu, Tingrui Wang et al.
During the Omicron pandemic, Chinese clinical first-line nurses showed moderate levels of innovative behavior, organizational innovation climate, and self-transcendence. Innovative behavior was positively correlated with organizational innovation climate and self-transcendence. Self-transcendence partially mediated the relationship between organizational innovation climate and innovative behavior, accounting for 41.7% of the effect. The findings suggest that fostering a supportive organizational climate and promoting self-transcendence could enhance nurses' innovative behavior, ultimately improving nursing quality during the pandemic.
