- Abstract
Purpose: The aim of the article is to draw the relationship between organizational agility and the innovation process in healthcare organizations and to examine the mediating role of job satisfaction in this relationship. Methodology: The quantitative study was conducted on a research sample determined using the convenience sampling method, consisting of 470 nurses managers working in healthcare organizations in Turkey. For statistical analysis of the data, we used the PLS-SEM approach to analyse the data, testing the hypotheses of current study. Findings: Nursing managers play an important role in the mechanism of shaping an innovative work environment based on organizational agility. Organizational agility contributes to innovation in healthcare organizations. Job satisfaction is one of the factors influencing this relationship, therefore organizations should strive to increase it. Research limitations: The survey was limited to health care nursing managers in Turkey. Although the number of responses is high (n = 470), limiting the sample to a specific geographical region may hinder generalisations. Therefore, future research could include nurse managers from other countries. Practical implications: The empirical results of the current study confirm the research model developed. The results provide guidance for healthcare managers. Through to this study, attention has been drawn to the need to develop all determinants of organizational agility and employee satisfaction in order to foster innovation in healthcare organizations. Originality/value: Nursing managers should develop the competences and knowledge necessary for organizational agility. Proper formulation of challenges and tasks (for managers and for nurses’ teams), in line with Expectation States Theory (EST), will increase job satisfaction and have a positive impact on the innovation process.
