Abstract

Fear generated by the COVID-19 pandemic caused an exceptional negative effect on the perceptions, attitudes and behaviours of healthcare professionals (HCPs) who struggled at the head of pandemic response efforts in many countries. Thus, the performance of HCPs who had to work in a crisis and emergency environment has decreased and this has prevented or made it difficult to realise many innovative behaviours required to combat the emergency. HCPs need a power that will enable them to cope with all challenging conditions. For this reason, the persistence behaviour that helps to complete duties successfully despite the negative mental health effects in all kinds of difficult working conditions has become important with its contribution to overcoming fear and obstacles. This study aims to investigate the relationship between persistence despite fear and innovative behaviours and the mediating role of mental well-being and the moderator role of fear of COVID-19 in Turkey. According to the results of the research, the mediator role of mental well-being and the moderator role of fear of COVID-19 were discovered in the effect of persistence on innovative behaviours despite fear.
