The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship of perceived calling and work engagement in nursing over and above major work environment factors. In all, 351 nurses from various health care institutions completed the survey. Data were collected about the most demanding aspects of nursing, major job resources, the degree to which nursing is perceived as a meaningful calling, work engagement, and main demographic information. Hierarchical linear regression was applied to assess the relation between perceived calling and work engagement, while controlling for demographic and work environment factors, and perceived calling was significantly related to two out of three components of nurses' work engagement. The highest association was found with dedication component, and vigor component was related insignificantly. Results have shown that perceived calling might motivate nurses to engage in their work even in burdensome environment, although possible implications for the occupational well-being of nurses themselves remains unclear.
本研究的目的是探讨在主要工作环境因素之外，护理工作中感知到的使命感与工作投入之间的关系。共有来自不同医疗机构的351名护士完成了调查。收集了有关护理工作最具挑战性的方面、主要工作资源、护理工作被视为有意义使命感的程度、工作投入以及主要人口统计学信息的数据。应用分层线性回归来评估感知到的使命感与工作投入之间的关系，同时控制人口统计学和工作环境因素，结果发现感知到的使命感与护士工作投入的三个组成部分中的两个显著相关。与奉献部分的关联最高，而活力部分的关联不显著。结果表明，尽管对护士自身职业幸福感的潜在影响尚不清楚，但感知到的使命感可能会激励护士即使在繁重的工作环境中也能全身心投入工作。
