چکیده

Background: Nursing collaboration is important in enhanced health care quality. Previous studies have identified agreeableness and supervisor negative mood as two predictors for subordinate collaboration. However, in nursing contexts, exactly how these factors influence nursing intention to help colleagues remains unknown, as well as how their interactive influences. Objectives: Thus this study investigates whether nurse agreeableness and supervisor negative mood impacts nursing intention to help colleagues independently and interactively. Methods: This study adopts a cross-sectional design and questionnaires for collecting data. One sample set comprised one supervisor and three nurses. This study issued 53 sets and collected complete responses from 46 sets, yielding an effective response ratio of 86.8%. Results: Analytical results indicated that nursing intention to help colleagues is positively related to nurse agreeableness (path coefficient = .54, t = 6.61, p < .01), but negatively related to supervisor negative mood (path coefficient = -.13, t = -1.67, p < .05). Moreover, analytical results indicated that for highly agreeable nurses, the relationship between supervisor negative mood and nursing intention to help colleagues is significantly stronger than that for lowly agreeable nurses, demonstrating that nurse agreeableness amplifies the negative impact of supervisor negative mood on nursing intention to help colleagues.
