The total score of self-efficacy was (27.68±6.53). The total score of colleague solidarity of nurses was (95.12±9.42). The total score of career success was (35.75±9.27). The personal innovation behaviors, self-efficacy, colleague solidarity of nurses career success and each dimension showed positive correlation(r=0.115-0.915, P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that innovation behaviors, self-efficacy and academic solidarity entered career success regression equation(β=0.090-0.554, P<0.05), and explained 49.7% of the total variation.Path analysis model showed innovative behavior, self-efficacy and colleague solidarity of nurses were positively predictive of career success, and the path coefficients were 0.62, 0.18 and 0.12.Hierarchical regression analysis showed both self-efficacy and colleague solidarity of nurses played mediating roles between innovative behavior and career success(β=0.207-0.104, P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#Hospital managers should take measures to improve nurses' innovative behavior, self-efficacy and colleague solidarity of nurses to promote their career success.
