The aim of the study was to examine the cross-sectional multilevel association between unit-level workplace social capital and individual-level work engagement among employees in health care settings.
The data were collected from employees of a Japanese health care corporation using a questionnaire. The analyses were limited to 440 respondents from 35 units comprising five or more respondents per unit. Unit-level workplace social capital was calculated as an average score of the Workplace Social Capital Scale for each unit. Multilevel regression analysis with a random intercept model was conducted.
After adjusting for demographic variables, unit-level workplace social capital was significantly and positively associated with respondents' work engagement (P < 0.001). The association remained significant after additionally adjusting for individual-level perceptions of workplace social capital (P < 0.001).
Workplace social capital might exert a positive contextual effect on work engagement of employees in health care settings.
本研究旨在探讨医疗保健机构中单位层面的工作场所社会资本与个体层面的工作投入之间的横断面多层次关联。
使用问卷调查从一家日本医疗保健公司的员工中收集数据。分析仅限于来自35个单位的440名受访者,每个单位有五名或更多受访者。单位层面的工作场所社会资本通过每个单位的工作场所社会资本量表的平均得分来计算。采用随机截距模型进行多层次回归分析。
在调整人口统计学变量后,单位层面的工作场所社会资本与受访者的工作投入显著正相关(P<0.001)。在进一步调整个体层面的工作场所社会资本认知后,这种关联仍然显著(P<0.001)。
工作场所社会资本可能对医疗保健机构员工的工作投入产生积极的情境效应。
