Resumo: Hospital managers and chief physicians, but also doctors and nurses, in an effort to face  constant changes, are involved in innovation. This study examines if transformational leadership style is related to adoption of employees’ suggestions, and if personal initiative and job control moderate this relationship. Nurses, doctors, and auxiliary and technical collaborators (n = 137), of an Italian public hospital, participated in this study. Results show that transformational leadership was correlated to innovation adoption but, when examined moderators were included in the analysis, the relation was no more significant. Personal initiative and job control did not moderate the relationship between transformational leadership and innovation adoption but they do have a significant direct effect on innovation adoption. Findings suggest that innovation in hospitals is more related to personal variables, like personal initiative and job control, rather than to transformational leadership.

Este estudo examina se o estilo de liderança transformacional está relacionado com a adoção das sugestões dos funcionários e se a iniciativa pessoal e o controlo do trabalho moderam essa relação. Enfermeiros, médicos e colaboradores auxiliares e técnicos (n = 137) de um hospital público italiano participaram neste estudo. Os resultados mostram que a liderança transformacional se correlaciona com a adoção da inovação, mas, quando os moderadores examinados foram incluídos na análise, a relação não foi significativa. A iniciativa pessoal e o controlo do trabalho não moderam a relação entre a liderança transformacional e a adoção da inovação, mas têm um efeito direto significativo na adoção da inovação. Os resultados sugerem que a inovação nos hospitais está mais relacionada com variáveis pessoais, como iniciativa pessoal e controlo do trabalho, do que com a liderança transformacional.Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra2019-07-31info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_62-1_6https://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_62-1_6Psychologica; Vol. 62 No. 1 (2019); 119-130Psychologica; Vol. 62 N.º 1 (2019); 119-1301647-86060871-465710.14195/1647-8606_62-1reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/1647-8606_62-1_6https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/1647-8606_62-1_6/5523Zappalà, SalvatoreToscano, Ferdinandoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-05-31T13:59:43Zoai:impactum-journals.uc.pt:article/7009Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:58:18.635968Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
