The study investigated two followership behaviors, followers' active engagement and followers' independent critical thinking, and their relationship with job satisfaction in a sample of nurses. In addition, the study also considered a number of control variables and classical job demands and job resources-workload and emotional dissonance for job demands, and meaningful work for job resources-which have an impact on well-being at work. A paper-and-pencil questionnaire was administered to 425 nurses in an Italian hospital, and a hierarchical multiple regression was used to test the hypotheses. In addition to the job demands and job resources considered, followers' active engagement had a significant impact on job satisfaction. Moreover, it showed a significant linear and curvilinear relationship with the outcome variable. Followers' independent critical thinking has a non significant relationship with job satisfaction, confirming the mixed results obtained in the past for this dimension. These findings bore out the importance of analyzing followers' behaviors as potential resources that people can use on the job to increase their own well-being. Looking at followers not just as passive recipients but as active and proactive employees can also benefit the organization.
该研究在一组护士样本中，调查了两种追随行为，即追随者的积极参与和追随者的独立批判性思维，以及它们与工作满意度之间的关系。此外，该研究还考虑了一些控制变量以及经典的工作要求和工作资源——工作要求方面的工作量和情感失调，以及工作资源方面的有意义工作——这些因素会对工作幸福感产生影响。对意大利一家医院的425名护士进行了纸质问卷调查，并使用分层多元回归来检验假设。除了所考虑的工作要求和工作资源外，追随者的积极参与对工作满意度有显著影响。此外，它与结果变量呈现出显著的线性和曲线关系。追随者的独立批判性思维与工作满意度没有显著关系，这证实了过去在这一维度上所得到的混合结果。这些发现证明了将追随者行为作为人们在工作中可用于提高自身幸福感的潜在资源进行分析的重要性。将追随者不仅仅视为被动接受者，而是视为积极主动的员工，这对组织也有益处。
