Abstract

BACKGROUND

The job performance of intensive care nurses is critical to the treatment and recovery of critically ill patients. Inclusive leadership, self-efficacy and organization-based self-esteem (OBSE) are important psychosocial factors affecting job performance. However, few studies have explored the relationships among these factors in critical care nurses.

AIMS

To examine the impact of inclusive leadership on the job performance of intensive care nurses and to explore the potential mediation through self-efficacy and OBSE.

METHODS

A cross-sectional survey design was employed. Between November and December 2023, a total of 460 intensive care nurses from China completed the survey, which included standard assessments on inclusive leadership, self-efficacy, OBSE, and job performance. Mediation analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling. Indirect effects were evaluated through bootstrapping.

RESULTS

The results indicated significant positive correlations among inclusive leadership, self-efficacy, OBSE, and job performance (all P < 0.01). Inclusive leadership not only directly affected the job performance of intensive care nurses but also influenced it through the partial mediating roles of self-efficacy and OBSE, with the mediating effects accounting for 14.29 % and 30.61 % of the total effect, respectively. Additionally, the analysis found that self-efficacy and OBSE played a chain mediating role in the relationship between inclusive leadership and the job…
