Results : A statistically significant difference was found in innovative behavior according to the participants' marital status (t=-2.12, p<.05), religion (t=1.98, p<.05), education level (F=8.79, p<.001), total clinical experience (t=-2.13, p<.05), length of work with the current nursing unit manager (t=-2.29, p<.05), work type (t=3.76, p<.001), and satisfaction with the nursing job (F=12.10, p<.001).

The factors influencing nurses’ innovative behavior were innovation-oriented culture (β=.36, p<.001), self-leadership (β=.26, p<.001), hierarchical culture (β=.16, p<.01), happiness (β=.14, p <.05), work-oriented culture (β=.14, p<.05), and work type (β=.13, p<.01).
