Abstract

Abstract: Background: Green inclusive leadership and green behavior are widely regarded as an important basis for improving the quality of our environment and support environmental sustainability resulting in the improvement of human health and the wealth of nations. Purpose: To assess nurses' perception of green inclusive leadership and its relation to green behavior among nurses at Menoufia University Hospital. Design: A descriptive correlational research design was used. Setting: The study was conducted at Menoufia University Hospitals. Sample: A convenient sample technique of 300 staff nurses was selected. Instruments: Two instruments were used (green inclusive leadership scale and green behavior questionnaire). Results: More than half (54.30%) of studied nurses had a moderate perception level of green inclusive leadership. While, the minority (15.7%) of them reported a low level of green inclusive leadership. Also, more than half (51%) of studied nurses exhibited a moderate perception level of green behavior, while the minority (5%) of them reported a low perception level of green behavior. Conclusion: There was a strong positive correlation between green inclusive leadership and green behavior among the studied nurses. Recommendations: Training programs should be conducted for nurses and nurse managers to enhance nurses’ knowledge and skills related green inclusive leadership and green behavior. Further studies should be conducted about barriers affecting application of green inclusive leadership and green behavior in health setting.
