The study investigated the association of narcissistic leadership, workload and emotional demands with nurses' job satisfaction and the mediational role of meaningful work.
Considering the strong positive relationship that meaningful work has with job satisfaction, investigating its antecedents is crucial.
A group of 602 nurses participated in the study completing a self-report questionnaire. Structural equation model analysis was applied.
Narcissistic leadership showed a negative association while emotional demands showed a positive one with meaningful work. The three determinants had a negative association with job satisfaction, while meaningful work showed a positive one. The indirect relationship with job satisfaction mediated by meaningful work was negative for narcissistic leadership and positive for emotional demands.
The study adds to the literature mainly by the investigation of the mediational role of meaningful work in a sample of nurses.
Measures should promote supportive, instead of narcissistic, leadership behaviours. Moreover, nurses should be assisted in identifying emotional demands as a meaningful aspect of their work.
本研究旨在探讨自恋型领导、工作负荷和情绪需求与护士工作满意度的关系，以及有意义的工作在其中的中介作用。
鉴于有意义的工作与工作满意度之间存在很强的正相关关系，调查其前因至关重要。
一组 602 名护士参与了这项研究，他们完成了一份自我报告问卷。采用结构方程模型分析。
自恋型领导与有意义的工作呈负相关，而情绪需求则呈正相关。这三个决定因素与工作满意度呈负相关，而有意义的工作则呈正相关。有意义的工作在自恋型领导和情绪需求与工作满意度之间的间接关系呈负相关。
本研究主要通过对护士样本中有意义的工作的中介作用的调查，为文献增添了新的内容。
管理措施应促进支持性的领导行为，而不是自恋型的领导行为。此外，应帮助护士认识到情绪需求是其工作有意义的方面。
