Cognitive flexibility is an important individual characteristic that facilitates adaptation to change and innovation.

Data were collected from 532 healthcare professionals working in Konya, T\u00fcrkiye, using convenience sampling. The Cognitive Flexibility Scale, Innovative Work Behavior Scale, and Artificial Intelligence Attitude Scale were used. Descriptive statistics, reliability analyses, Pearson correlation analysis, and bootstrap-based mediation analysis were conducted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Correlation analyses revealed significant positive relationships among cognitive flexibility, attitudes toward artificial intelligence, and innovative work behavior (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Regression analyses demonstrated that cognitive flexibility significantly predicted both attitudes toward artificial intelligence (\u03b2=0.436, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and innovative work behavior (\u03b2=0.472, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Furthermore, bootstrap mediation analysis confirmed a statistically significant indirect effect of cognitive flexibility on innovative work behavior through attitudes toward artificial intelligence (\u03b2=0.097, 95% CI [0.075, 0.168], p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), indicating partial mediation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Attitudes towards artificial intelligence partially mediate the relationship between cognitive flexibility and innovative work behavior among healthcare professionals.
