Özet:

The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between nurses’ organizational ethical climate perceptions and innovative behaviors. The data of the work was collected on 15 May - 15 July 2020. The study was conducted online and reached 180 nurses. The data collection has been used: ‘Participant Identification Form’, ‘Organizational Ethical Climate Scale’, ‘Bricolage Scale’ and ‘Individual Innovation Scale’. The normal distribution conformity of the data was assessed by the Shapiro-Wilk-W Test and used non-parametric tests. The distribution of data, the number and percentage for cut data, and the average±standard deviation for continuous data are shown. In comparative statistics, the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparisons between two groups, the Kruskal-Wallis test in more than two groups. In multiple group assessments, a Bonferroni Correctional Mann-Whitney U Test was performed from Post-Hoc tests to determine which groups(s) of the difference arise if the value of p is less than 0.05. The error rate for all analyses was determined at 0.05. The participants’ Organic Ethical Climate Scale total score average; 76,88±9,87, the Bricolage Scale total score average; 32,72±4,73, the Individual Innovation Scale total score average; 60,47±6,18 was found. There was a statistically meaningful, positive but weak correlation between the Nurses' Organic Ethical Climate Scale and the Bricolage Scale (r=0,447, p=0,000) and the Individual Innovation Scale (r=0,257, p=0,000). Positive organizational ethical climate perception in the institutions where nurses work will enable nurses to be innovative by adapting to scientific and technological developments, thereby creating synergies in the cost-effective delivery of healthcare services.
