The leadership practices of nurse managers significantly impact the creativity of staff nurses; however, the effects of ambidextrous leadership on nurses' creativity are not yet clear. Additionally, the underlying mechanism of this relationship remains to be identified.
The study aimed to examine the effect of ambidextrous leadership on nurses' creativity, directly and indirectly through psychological safety.
In this cross-sectional study, data were collected from October 2023 to January 2024 involving 241 nurses working at three hospitals in Port Said, Egypt. The Ambidextrous Leadership Scale, Psychological Safety Scale, and the Individual Creativity Scale were employed. Descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling were conducted.
Nurse managers' ambidextrous leadership was positively associated with nurses' creativity. Psychological safety fully mediated the association between ambidextrous leadership and nurses' creativity.
The study suggests that enhancing the ambidexterity of nurse leaders can foster a sense of psychological safety, which, in effect, contributes to increased creativity among nurses.
There is a need for healthcare policies and strategies that are supportive of the implementation of ambidextrous leadership practices and promote psychological safety among nurses.
护士长的领导行为对护士的创造力有显著影响；然而，二元领导对护士创造力的影响尚不清楚。此外，这种关系的潜在机制仍有待确定。
本研究旨在直接以及通过心理安全间接考察二元领导对护士创造力的影响。
在这项横断面研究中，于2023年10月至2024年1月收集了埃及塞得港三家医院241名护士的数据。采用了二元领导量表、心理安全量表和个人创造力量表。进行了描述性分析、相关性分析和结构方程建模。
护士长的二元领导与护士的创造力呈正相关。心理安全完全中介了二元领导与护士创造力之间的关联。
该研究表明，提高护士长的二元性可以培养心理安全感，这实际上有助于提高护士的创造力。
需要有支持二元领导行为实施并促进护士心理安全的医疗保健政策和策略。
