The present study was designed to determine the relationship between meaningful work and job performance, and the impact of meaningful work on nursing care quality.
Meaningful work has been suggested as a significant factor affecting job performance, but the relationship has never been studied in nurses in China.
A descriptive correlational study was designed to assess the level of meaningful work, tasks, and contextual performance as well as their relationships.
We used a stratified random-sampling approach to enrol nurses from hospitals. Multivariate regression analysis was applied to determine the relationship between meaningful work and their demographic data.
There were significant, positive relationships between meaningful work and task performance and contextual performance. Education level, work unit, and employment type influenced meaningful work. The work motivation score of the nurses was lower than that of the other 2 dimensions, and a negative work motivation score negatively influenced job performance.
Improving meaningful work and providing more support and assistance could improve nurse performance, thereby improving the quality of nursing care.
本研究旨在确定有意义的工作与工作绩效之间的关系,以及有意义的工作对护理质量的影响。
有意义的工作被认为是影响工作绩效的一个重要因素,但在中国护士群体中,这种关系从未被研究过。
采用描述性相关性研究来评估有意义的工作、任务和情境绩效的水平及其关系。
我们采用分层随机抽样方法从医院招募护士。应用多元回归分析来确定有意义的工作与其人口统计学数据之间的关系。
有意义的工作与任务绩效和情境绩效之间存在显著的正相关关系。教育水平、工作单位和就业类型影响有意义的工作。护士的工作动机得分低于其他两个维度,工作动机得分呈负向会对工作绩效产生负面影响。
提高工作的意义并提供更多支持和帮助可以提高护士的绩效,从而提高护理质量。
