The purpose of this study was to explore the mediating and/or moderating effects of psychological empowerment in the relationship between structural empowerment and burnout among nurses in China.
Burnout is prevalent among nurses. Previous studies have found that empowering organizational structures contribute to reduce nurses' burnout. However, little is known about the mediating or moderating role of psychological empowerment in the relationship between structural empowerment and burnout among nurses in China.
A cross-sectional design was conducted. A total of 244 nurses participated in this study. The data were collected in March 2013. Multiple regressions were used to test the hypothesized models.
Psychological empowerment was found to be a significant mediator of the relationship between structural empowerment and burnout (standardized β=-0.553, Sobel test: z=7.79, p<0.001). The moderating effect of psychological empowerment in that relationship was not verified.
Both structural and psychological empowerment negatively correlated with burnout. The psychological empowerment had a mediating effect on burnout.
It is important for nurse managers to develop strategies to ensure that empowering structures are in place and to facilitate nurses' perception of psychological empowerment.
本研究旨在探讨心理授权在中国护士的结构授权与倦怠关系中的中介和/或调节作用。
倦怠在护士中普遍存在。以往研究发现，赋能型组织结构有助于减少护士的倦怠。然而，关于心理授权在中国护士的结构授权与倦怠关系中的中介或调节作用，人们了解甚少。
采用横断面设计。共有244名护士参与本研究。数据于2013年3月收集。使用多元回归检验假设模型。
发现心理授权是结构授权与倦怠关系的显著中介变量（标准化β=-0.553，Sobel检验：z=7.79，p<0.001）。未验证心理授权在该关系中的调节作用。
结构授权和心理授权均与倦怠呈负相关。心理授权对倦怠有中介作用。
护理管理者制定策略以确保存在赋能型结构并促进护士对心理授权的感知非常重要。
