Abstract
Background: The concept of 'EntrepreNursing' improves healthcare outcomes by enhancing quality, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness, but remains underutilized by clinical nurses. Research on how to promote EntrepreNursing is scant.
Purpose: To examine how personal characteristics (internal locus of control, capacity to innovate) and organizational innovativeness influence nurses' innovative behaviors.
Method: A cross-sectional study of 205 registered nurses from diverse clinical settings completed a validated 62-item questionnaire measuring innovativeness and related factors.
Findings: The results revealed that internal locus of control strongly predicts innovative behaviors and correlates with organizational innovativeness. Nurses in managerial positions demonstrate significantly higher personal innovativeness. A combination of internal locus of control, personal innovativeness, and organizational culture explained 54 % of the variance in innovative behaviors.
Discussion: Findings suggest that strengthening nurses' internal locus of control through targeted organizational support and professional development may enhance healthcare innovation. Implementation strategies should focus on building both individual and organizational innovation capabilities.
