Backround: Nursing holds a critical place in the health care system. The work performance of nurses has an impact on patient safety and the quality of clinical care. To improve work performance, nurses should be assisted by their senior managers and leaders who use coaching behavior as a strategy tool in the management to guide employees to realize their full potential and maximize it.
Aim: This study aims to investigate whether coaching behavior has a mediating role in the effects of intrinsic motivation on work addiction among nurses.
Design: This research study utilized a cross sectionl survey design. Methods: A total of 269 nurses who were working at Ankara Education and Research Hospital were included in the study. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 20 for Windows.
Funding:The mean work addiction total score was 3,26±0,72; the mean coaching behavior scale score was 2,89±1,02 and the mean intrinsic motivation scale score was 3,86±0,78 for the participants. Work addiction showed a positive linear correlation with coaching behavior and intrinsic motivation (r=0,243, r=0,148, respectively, p<0,05). Besides, there was a positive linear correlation between coaching behavior and intrinsic motivation (r=0,140 p<0,05).
Conclusion: We performed Sobel Test to investigate the mediating effect among the variables and found that coaching behavior had a fully mediating role in the effects of intrinsic motivation on work addiction.
