AIM: This study aimed to explore the effect of organisational innovation climate on nurse innovation behaviour and the mediating role of psychological empowerment. BACKGROUND: Encouraging nurses to generate more innovative behaviours has become an important development direction for improving the quality of nursing services. METHOD: We employed a self-report questionnaire to collect data in Jinan City, China. A total of 2018 valid surveys were obtained. Hierarchical multiple regression model analysis was conducted to test the study hypothesis. RESULT: The mean values of innovation behaviour and organisational innovation climate were 35.29 and 83.30, respectively. Psychological empowerment was found to have partially mediating effect on the relationship between organisational innovation climate and innovation behaviour. CONCLUSION: Organisational innovation climate has significant impact on innovation behaviour, and it can indirectly affect innovation behaviour via the mediating role of psychological empowerment. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nursing managers should enhance innovation climate through formal rules, procedures and training activities. They can establish resource guarantee system and information sharing platform, and strengthen work autonomy for nurses to improve their psychological empowerment.
