This study aims to evaluate the effects of leader-member exchange (LMX) on job and life satisfaction among nurses in China and to examine the mediating effect of individual and collaborative job crafting between LMX and job and life satisfaction. The study recruited 263 nurses who worked in hospitals in Zhejiang province, China. A set of self-administered questionnaires were used to measure the variables of LMX, job crafting, job and life satisfaction. The data was analyzed using the partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal that LMX has a significant positive influence on job crafting and job satisfaction. Collaborative job crafting has a significant positive influence on the job satisfaction of nurses, whereas individual job crafting does not. Moreover, LMX will affect job satisfaction and life satisfaction through a partial mediating effect of both individual and collaborative job crafting. Finally, the article discusses the academically and practical implications, and also provide some suggestions and directions for the future research.
本研究旨在评估领导-成员交换（LMX）对中国护士工作和生活满意度的影响，并检验个体和协作性工作重塑在 LMX 与工作和生活满意度之间的中介作用。研究招募了 263 名在中国浙江省医院工作的护士。采用一套自填式问卷来测量 LMX、工作重塑、工作和生活满意度的变量。采用偏最小二乘结构方程建模（PLS-SEM）进行数据分析。结果表明，LMX 对工作重塑和工作满意度有显著的正向影响。协作性工作重塑对护士的工作满意度有显著的正向影响，而个体性工作重塑则没有。此外，LMX 通过个体和协作性工作重塑的部分中介作用影响工作满意度和生活满意度。最后，文章讨论了其学术和实际意义，并为未来的研究提供了一些建议和方向。
