This paper investigates the relationships among safety leadership, safety motivation, safety knowledge, and safety behavior in the setting of a tertiary hospital in Klang Valley, Malaysia.
Underpinned by the self-efficacy theory, we argue that high-quality safety leadership enhances nurses' safety knowledge and motivation and subsequently, improves their safety behavior (safety compliance and safety participation). A total of 332 questionnaire responses were gathered and analyzed using SmartPLS Version 3.2.9, revealing the direct effect of safety leadership on both safety knowledge and safety motivation.
Safety knowledge and safety motivation were found to directly and significantly predict nurses' safety behavior. Notably, safety knowledge and safety motivation were established as important mediators in the relationship between safety leadership and nurses' safety compliance and participation.
The findings of this study offer key guidance for safety researchers and hospital practitioners in identifying mechanisms to enhance safety behavior among nurses.
本文探讨了马来西亚巴生谷一家三级医院环境下安全领导力、安全动机、安全知识和安全行为之间的关系。
以自我效能理论为基础，我们认为高质量的安全领导力能增强护士的安全知识和动机，进而改善他们的安全行为（安全合规和安全参与）。共收集了332份问卷回复，并使用SmartPLS 3.2.9版本进行分析，揭示了安全领导力对安全知识和安全动机的直接影响。
发现安全知识和安全动机直接且显著地预测护士的安全行为。值得注意的是，安全知识和安全动机被确立为安全领导力与护士安全合规及参与之间关系的重要中介。
本研究结果为安全研究人员和医院从业者识别增强护士安全行为的机制提供了关键指导。
