Design: This research is a cross-sectional study using the survey method. Methods: Data were collected from 3,532 nurses working in public hospitals and health clinics within Sabah, Malaysia in 2015. The hypothesized model was evaluated using partial least squares method. Results: The findings reveal that all forms of work environment have a positive effect on nurses’ caring behavior except for staffing and resource adequacy which shows a negative effect on caring behavior. Conclusion: Overall, this study has added to theoretical contributions in the academic and research fields as well as in practical implications in the field of nursing practice by addressing the influence of work environments on caring behavior. Implications for Nursing Management: The present research has provided convergent evidence on the role of the working environment in influencing the behavior of nurses working in hospitals and health clinics in Sabah, Malaysia.
