The mediating effect of work engagement on the relationship between innovative behavior and core competencies among clinical nursing teachers in the department of otolaryngology
Objective To explore the mediating effect of work engagement on the relationship between innovative behavior and core competencies among clinical nursing teachers in the department of otolaryngology.Methods This was a cross-sectional study.Clinical nursing teachers from the Department of Otolaryngology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected by convenience sampling between August and October 2023.Data were collected using a general information questionnaire,a Core Competency Evaluation Form for Undergraduate Nursing Clinical Instructors,a Nurse Innovation Behavior Scale,and a Work Engagement Scale.Results A total of 336 questionnaires were distributed,with 306 valid responses received,resulting in an effective response rate of 91.07％.The total score for work engagement among the 306 clinical nursing teachers was(54.22±8.67),while the total score for innovative behavior was(43.25±6.94),and the total score for core competencies was(106.22±6.74).Pearson correlation analysis showed that the core competencies and innovative behaviors were positively correlated with work engagement(r=0.289,0.487,respectively;P＜0.01),and the core competencies were positively correlated with innovative behaviors(r=0.513,P＜0.01).Structural equation modeling revealed that work engagement partially mediated the relationship between innovative behavior and core competencies,with a mediation effect value of 0.071,accounting for 12.72％of the total effect.Conclusions Clinical nursing teachers in the department of otolaryngology demonstrate a moderate to high level of core competencies,and work engagement partially mediates the relationship between innovative behavior and core competencies.
