(2025) Naif AlZahrani; Prof/ Awatef Hassan Kassem
Background: Curiosity, generally defined as the desire for knowledge and sensory experiences that sparks exploratory behavior, represents one of the most fundamental and pervasive aspects of humanity Aim: This study aims to determine the effect of organizational curiosity on nurses’ work engagement at Ajyad Emergency Hospital, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A descriptive correlational research design was utilized with a sample of (n=137) staff nurses at Ajyad Emergency Hospital, Saudi Arabia. Tools of data collection were five-dimensional curiosity scale revised (5 DCSR), and work engagement scale. Results. Most of the studied nurses had a moderate level of organizational curiosity. More than half of the studied nurses had a high level of work engagement (62.8%), whereas 36.5% of them had moderate level, and 0.7% had low level of work engagement. Conclusions, it was concluded that that the majority of the studied nurses had a moderate level of organizational curiosity. Additionally, there was a statistically significant relationship between the overall organizational curiosity and work engagement scores among nurses. Recommendations: Foster a culture of inquiry by encouraging open communication, questioning, and idea-sharing to enhance organizational curiosity. Provide platforms (e.g., suggestion boxes, innovation meetings) where nurses can voice ideas and feedback.
