For health systems, a fundamental challenge is adapting to changes in the patterns of health services that require technological and scientific innovations. The pace of multiple and interconnected challenges mounts extra stress on medical healthcare professionals and reduces their innovative capabilities, especially in low- and middle-income countries. To enhance the innovative capability of medical healthcare professionals under stress, the study seeks any possible correlation between stress and innovation. For that purpose, we sought to investigate the effects of stress on the innovative work behavior of employees and examine the mediating effect of health and moderating effect of supervisor support.
350 medical healthcare professionals were surveyed in different hospitals in Lahore through a survey regarding stress, health, innovative work behavior, and supervisor support with a final response rate of 89%. SPSS and AMOS were used for the analysis of the data and the investigation of the combined effects of the model. Exploratory (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were conducted to ensure the convergent and discriminant validity of the factors, while mediation analysis was done to check the mediating role of health.
It has been observed that there is partial mediation of health between eustress and innovative work behavior whereas supervisor support does not moderate between eustress and health. Furthermore, the results indicate that distress is negatively associated with innovative behavior. In addition, health fully mediates between distress and innovative work behavior. If distress increases negative effects on health, then supervisor support reduces the negative impact of distress on health. Furthermore, supervisor support also reduces the negative impact of health on innovative work behavior.
Our study outlines a hypothetical alternative situation that explains how the two emotions of eustress and distress are brought into play in the innovative work behavior of the employees. In addition, supervisors play an important role in influencing the sustainable innovation work behavior of their staff members.
对于卫生系统而言，一项根本挑战是适应需要技术和科学创新的卫生服务模式变化。多重且相互关联的挑战的节奏给医疗保健专业人员带来了额外压力，并降低了他们的创新能力，尤其是在低收入和中等收入国家。为了增强处于压力下的医疗保健专业人员的创新能力，本研究探寻压力与创新之间的任何可能关联。为此，我们试图调查压力对员工创新工作行为的影响，并检验健康的中介作用以及上级支持的调节作用。
通过一项关于压力、健康、创新工作行为和上级支持的调查，在拉合尔的不同医院对350名医疗保健专业人员进行了调查，最终回复率为89%。使用SPSS和AMOS对数据进行分析，并对模型的综合效应进行研究。进行探索性因子分析（EFA）和验证性因子分析（CFA）以确保各因子的收敛效度和区分效度，同时进行中介分析以检验健康的中介作用。
研究发现，积极压力与创新工作行为之间存在健康的部分中介作用，而上级支持在积极压力与健康之间不存在调节作用。此外，结果表明消极压力与创新行为呈负相关。此外，健康在消极压力与创新工作行为之间起完全中介作用。如果消极压力增加对健康的负面影响，那么上级支持会减少消极压力对健康的负面影响。此外，上级支持还会减少健康对创新工作行为的负面影响。
我们的研究概述了一种假设性替代情况，解释了积极压力和消极压力这两种情绪如何在员工的创新工作行为中发挥作用。此外，上级在影响其员工的可持续创新工作行为方面发挥着重要作用。
