Achieving sustainable performance in healthcare organizations has become a pressing necessity, driven by environmental challenges and the imperative for enhanced efficiency. Within nursing leadership, the integration of green absorptive capacity, green intellectual capital, and green knowledge management has emerged as a strategic approach to fostering sustainability. However, empirical research on the interplay of these green competencies in the nursing sector remains limited.
This study aims to examine the mediating role of green knowledge management (GKM) in the relationships between green absorptive capacity, green intellectual capital, and sustainable performance among nursing managers. It explores how GKM processes translate environmental competencies into sustainable leadership outcomes.
A cross-sectional descriptive correlational study was conducted among 207 nursing managers at Zagazig University Hospitals, Egypt. Data was collected using five validated instruments, including the Green Absorptive Capacity Questionnaire, Green Intellectual Capital Questionnaire, Sustainable Performance Questionnaire, and Green Knowledge Management Scale. Structural equation modeling and path analysis were performed to test the study hypotheses.
The findings revealed significant positive associations between green absorptive capacity (β = 0.123, < 0.001), green intellectual capital (β = 0.064, = 0.016), and sustainable performance among nursing managers. Green knowledge management exhibited the strongest direct effect on sustainable performance (β = 0.727, < 0.001). Additionally, green knowledge management significantly moderated the relationships between green absorptive capacity and sustainable performance (β = 0.256, < 0.001) as well as between green intellectual capital and sustainable performance (β = 0.359, < 0.001). These results underscore the pivotal role of knowledge-driven sustainability strategies in nursing leadership.
This study highlights the importance of integrating green absorptive capacity, green intellectual capital, and green knowledge management into nursing leadership to enhance sustainability outcomes. The findings provide empirical evidence for the need to embed green competencies within nursing management, advocating for policies and training programs that reinforce environmental responsibility in healthcare institutions.

在环境挑战和提高效率的迫切需求推动下,医疗机构实现可持续绩效已成为当务之急。在护理领导领域,绿色吸收能力、绿色智力资本和绿色知识管理的整合已成为促进可持续发展的战略方法。然而,关于这些绿色能力在护理部门相互作用的实证研究仍然有限。
本研究旨在探讨绿色知识管理(GKM)在护理管理者的绿色吸收能力、绿色智力资本与可持续绩效之间关系中的中介作用。它探讨了GKM流程如何将环境能力转化为可持续领导成果。
对埃及扎加齐格大学医院的207名护理管理者进行了横断面描述性相关研究。使用包括绿色吸收能力问卷、绿色智力资本问卷、可持续绩效问卷和绿色知识管理量表在内的五种经过验证的工具收集数据。进行结构方程建模和路径分析以检验研究假设。
研究结果显示,护理管理者的绿色吸收能力(β = 0.123,< 0.001)、绿色智力资本(β = 0.064,= 0.016)与可持续绩效之间存在显著正相关。绿色知识管理对可持续绩效的直接影响最强(β = 0.727,< 0.001)。此外,绿色知识管理显著调节了绿色吸收能力与可持续绩效之间的关系(β = 0.256,< 0.001)以及绿色智力资本与可持续绩效之间的关系(β = 0.359,< 0.001)。这些结果强调了知识驱动的可持续发展战略在护理领导中的关键作用。
本研究强调了将绿色吸收能力、绿色智力资本和绿色知识管理整合到护理领导中以提高可持续发展成果的重要性。研究结果为在护理管理中嵌入绿色能力的必要性提供了实证依据,倡导制定加强医疗机构环境责任的政策和培训计划。
