Nursing has a high risk of job burnout, but only a few studies have explored its influencing factors from an organizational perspective.
The present study explores the impact of psychological capital on job burnout by investigating the mediating effect of organizational commitment on this relationship.
A total of 473 female nurses from four large general hospitals in Xi'an City of China were selected as participants. Data were collected via the Psychological Capital Questionnaire, the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey, and the Organizational Commitment Scale.
Both psychological capital and organizational commitment were significantly correlated to job burnout. Structural equation modelling indicated that organizational commitment partially mediated the relationship between psychological capital and job burnout.
The final model revealed a significant path from psychological capital to job burnout through organizational commitment. These findings extended prior reports and shed some light on the influence of psychological capital on job burnout.
护理工作存在较高的职业倦怠风险,但仅有少数研究从组织角度探讨了其影响因素。
本研究旨在探讨心理资本对职业倦怠的影响,考察组织承诺在其中的中介作用。
选取中国西安市 4 家大型综合医院的 473 名女性护士作为研究对象。采用心理资本问卷、职业倦怠量表和组织承诺量表进行数据收集。
心理资本和组织承诺均与职业倦怠显著相关。结构方程模型表明,组织承诺在心理资本与职业倦怠之间起部分中介作用。
最终模型显示,心理资本通过组织承诺对职业倦怠有显著影响。这些发现扩展了以往的研究结果,为心理资本对职业倦怠的影响提供了新的视角。
