Background: Nurses’ motivation bridges individual and organizational factors with patient safety practices, yet inconsistent findings on its mediating role highlight the need of further context-based investigation. Therefore, this study aimed to analyse the mediating role of motivation in the relationship between nurses’ professional competence and work environment with patient safety management activities.
Methods: This cross-sectional correlational study was conducted in three hospitals in Malang Raya, East Java, Indonesia from August to September 2025. The study sample included 225 nurses recruited by proportional quota sampling. Data were collected using Nurse Professional Competence (NPC) scale, Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI), Safety Motivation Tool, and Safety Care Activity scale. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS version 4.0, applying a significance level of 5% to examine the relationships among the variables.
Results: Professional competence significantly affected motivation (β = 0.354, p = 0.000) and patient safety management activities (β = 0.082, p = 0.042). The work environment also showed significant effects on motivation (β = 0.177, p = 0.005) and patient safety management activities (β = 0.119, p = 0.002). Motivation had a strong effect on patient safety management activities (β = 0.734, p = 0.000) and significantly mediated the relationships between professional competence (β = 0.260, p = 0.000), work environment (β = 0.130, p = 0.007), and patient safety management activities. The model demonstrated good fit (SRMR = 0.059).
Conclusion: The results emphasize that enhancing nurses’ professional competence through continuous learning and career development programs is crucial to strengthening motivation and improving patient safety management activities. This study contributes to understanding patient safety practices in Indonesian hospitals. Further research is recommended to compare hospital types to explore organizational context differences.
