To examine the relationship between organisational agility and nurses' green work behaviour and to assess how climate activism mediates this relationship. Understanding this relationship is crucial for promoting sustainable practices in healthcare.
A cross-sectional research design was employed. This approach was chosen to examine how organisational agility and climate activism simultaneously influence green work behaviour in the present context, providing a snapshot of their synergistic interactions.
This study was conducted in 2024 at eight hospitals in Egypt, with a total of 781 nurses conveniently selected for participation. Data were collected using validated instruments: the Agility Survey, Employee Green Behaviour Scale and Environmental Action Scale. Correlation and path analyses were utilised to test the study hypotheses.
Nurses reported moderate levels of organisational agility, climate activism and green work behaviour. Statistically significant positive correlations were found between organisational agility, climate activism and green work behaviour. Organisational agility and climate activism emerged as significant predictors of green work behaviour, with climate activism acting as a partial mediator between organisational agility and green work behaviour.
This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on fostering sustainable nursing practices as results indicate that agile organisations, which embrace flexibility and nurse-led climate initiatives, are better positioned to promote sustainable behaviour.
Practical strategies include selecting nurses with high climate literacy, designing agile working strategies and promoting eco-conscious behaviours. Nurse leaders should develop policies that integrate climate initiatives into everyday practice to enhance green work behaviour.
The healthcare sector faces increasing environmental challenges, making it crucial to foster green work behaviour. Our study addresses a gap in the literature by revealing that organisational agility and climate activism are essential drivers of green behaviour among nurses, offering actionable insights for greening healthcare practices.
This study was reported in accordance with the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE).

探讨组织敏捷性与护士绿色工作行为之间的关系，并评估气候行动主义如何调节这种关系。理解这种关系对于促进医疗保健领域的可持续实践至关重要。
采用横断面研究设计。选择这种方法是为了考察在当前背景下组织敏捷性和气候行动主义如何同时影响绿色工作行为，提供它们协同互动的快照。
本研究于2024年在埃及的八家医院进行，共方便选取了781名护士参与。使用经过验证的工具收集数据：敏捷性调查问卷、员工绿色行为量表和环境行动量表。采用相关性分析和路径分析来检验研究假设。
护士报告的组织敏捷性、气候行动主义和绿色工作行为水平中等。组织敏捷性、气候行动主义和绿色工作行为之间存在统计学上显著的正相关。组织敏捷性和气候行动主义成为绿色工作行为的重要预测因素，气候行动主义在组织敏捷性和绿色工作行为之间起部分中介作用。
本研究为促进可持续护理实践的知识体系做出了贡献，因为结果表明，那些具有灵活性并支持护士主导的气候倡议的敏捷组织，更有能力促进可持续行为。
实际策略包括选拔具有高气候素养的护士、设计敏捷的工作策略以及促进生态意识行为。护士领导者应制定政策，将气候倡议融入日常实践，以增强绿色工作行为。
医疗保健部门面临日益严峻的环境挑战，培养绿色工作行为至关重要。我们的研究揭示了组织敏捷性和气候行动主义是护士绿色行为的重要驱动因素，弥补了文献中的空白，为医疗保健实践的绿色化提供了可操作的见解。
本研究按照加强流行病学观察性研究报告（STROBE）进行报告。
