Aim:
To assess the effects of workplace fun on nurse innovative behaviour and to confirm the intermediary function of affective commitment.
Background:
Employee innovative behaviour has a crucial function in survival and development of an organisation. On the basis of the theory of social exchange, there has been inadequate study of the influence of workplace fun on nurse innovative behaviour mediated by affective commitment.
Methods:
A cross-sectional, descriptive correlational research design was conducted for 331 Chinese nurses from five public hospitals. The measurements were obtained from a questionnaire on workplace fun, affective commitment, nurse innovative behaviour and a sociodemographic datasheet. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the personal profile, and inferential statistics were used to test hypotheses.
Results:
We identified a positive correlation between workplace fun and nurse innovative behaviour. Affective commitment had a mediating effect.
Conclusion:
Workplace fun and affective commitment can promote nurse innovative behaviour.
Implications For Nursing Management:
Managers need to provide measures that promote workplace fun and affective commitment to enhance nurse innovative behaviour.
