Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to determine the effect of psychological capital (PsyCap) on innovative work behavior (IWB) by incorporating the mediating role of work engagement and examine the moderating role of transformational leadership in the relationship between PsyCap and IWB.

Design/methodology/approach

Using a correlational design, this research involved 270 nurses from seven public hospitals across Iraq, selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using partial least squares structural equation modeling (SmartPLS 3).

Findings

The distinctness of the variables used in this study was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. The findings show that a PsyCap had a positive influence on IWB directly and indirectly through the mediating of work engagement, and transformational leadership positively moderates the relationship between a PsyCap and IWB in such a way that with high transformational leadership behavior, the relationship will be strengthened.

Originality/value

By focusing on Iraqi nurses, this study not only contributes to the existing literature on PsyCap and IWB but also underscores the unique contextual challenges faced by health-care professionals in conflict-affected areas. The findings emphasize the importance of nurturing leadership qualities to foster a resilient and innovative nursing workforce in such settings.

解读变革型领导和工作投入在心理资本与创新工作行为之间关系中的作用

目的本研究旨在确定心理资本（PsyCap）对创新工作行为（IWB）的影响，其中包括工作投入的中介作用，并考察变革型领导力在心理资本与创新工作行为之间关系中的调节作用。数据分析采用偏最小二乘法结构方程模型（SmartPLS 3）进行。研究结果本研究中使用的变量的独特性通过确认性因子分析得到了证实。研究结果表明，心理上限直接或间接地通过工作投入的中介作用对 IWB 产生了积极影响，而变革型领导对心理上限和 IWB 之间的关系起着积极的调节作用，因此，如果变革型领导行为较高，则两者之间的关系会得到加强。研究结果强调了培养领导素质的重要性，以便在这种环境下培养一支具有应变能力和创新能力的护理队伍。
