A total of 2291 nurses completed the baseline survey, and 1812 completed the follow\u2010up assessment and were included in the final analysis, yielding a retention rate of 79.1%. Authentic leadership, psychological empowerment and leader\u2013member exchange were measured at Time 1, and nurses\u2019 innovative behaviour was measured at Time 2. Structural equation modelling and bootstrap analysis were conducted to test the hypothesised mediation model.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Authentic leadership was positively associated with psychological empowerment and leader\u2013member exchange.
