Özet

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to examine the mediating roles of organizational trust and structural empowerment on the speak-up behavior of oncology nurses. BACKGROUND: Organizational trust can create opportunities for a good working environment. Structural empowerment is an important factor affecting the speak-up behavior of nurses. The intermediary roles of organizational trust and structural empowerment on speak-up behavior are not specific. METHODS: A correlational descriptive research design was used, and 232 nurses from 2 different hospital levels (the Ministry of Health hospital and university hospital) responded to 4 questionnaires. RESULT: The results reflect that organizational trust and structural empowerment are a factor on nurses' speak-up behavior. CONCLUSION: The findings demonstrate that a work environment where organizational trust is developed and a structural empowerment framework is in place contributes to nurses' speak-up behavior among oncology nurses.
