Abstract
To adapt the Innovative Behavior Inventory and Innovation Support Inventory into Turkish and to test the relationship between nurses' innovative behaviors, innovation outputs, and innovation support. The sample of this methodological, correlational study included 360 nurses working at two hospitals in Istanbul, a province in northwestern Turkey. The study data were collected using the Nurse Information Questionnaire, Innovative Behavior Inventory, and Innovation Support Inventory. For psychometric analysis,language and content validity, confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability analysis was performed. The model was examined withstructural equation modeling. The original structure of the inventories was preserved in the Turkish versions. There were positive and significant correlations between innovation support, innovative behavior, and innovation output subdimensions. The Turkish versions of the inventories were determined to have acceptable and good psychometric properties. The innovative behaviors of the nurses were found to have a significantly high impact on innovation outputs. It was also found that managerial support has a proximal effect on the nurses' innovative behaviors. The results of this study indicate that to achieve innovativeoutputs, nurses' innovative behaviors should be increased and that managerial support regarding this issue is important and has priority.
