Abstract: | Purpose: The aim of this study was to understand the concept of innovative behavior and its theoretical
and practical implications for nursing.
Methods: Eight-step modification of Wilson's classic concept analysis procedure (1963) by Walker and
Avant's (2005) was used to explore the antecedents, attributes, and consequences of innovative behavior
in the literature. Electronic searches were conducted in PubMed, Google Scholar, OVID Medline, Science
Direct, and ERIC databases using “innovative behavior” or “innovative work behavior”, “innovativeness”,
“innovation”, “leadership”, “healthcare”, and “nursing” as keywords, with no limitation on publication
date.
Results: Organizing the framework based on the method of concept analysis by Walker and Avant ,
defining attributes to innovative behavior were opportunity exploration, idea generation, idea search,
idea communication, promotion of idea, idea championing, application, and overcoming obstacles. Antecedents to innovative behavior are categorized into three groups: organizational characteristics, work
environmental characteristics, and individual characteristics. Consequences of innovative behavior
included job productivity, lower levels of job burnout, job satisfaction, solving the organizational
problems, organizational commitment, organizational efficiency, and effectiveness.
Conclusion: Eight dimensions including opportunity exploration, idea generation, idea search, idea
communication, idea promotion, championing, application, and overcoming obstacles were analyzed.
We suggest promoting innovative behavior through leadership and management in nursing. Future
research should focus on developing instruments and conducting empirical studies on innovative
behavior in nursing research and practice. Purpose: The aim of this study was to understand the concept of innovative behavior and its theoretical and practical implications for nursing.
