It seems that personality traits affect engagement and the quality of professional life, which is mediated by the emotional and affective states of nursing personnel. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to analyze the relationships between the components of empathy, affect, personality, and engagement, find personality profiles, identify the variables with the most explanatory value, and analyze the mediating role of the variables susceptible to intervention in the relationship between personality and the components of engagement.
A sample of 1268 nurses completed the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, 10-item Big Five Inventory, Basic Empathy Scale, and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule.
Empathy, affect, and personality influence engagement factors in nurses. The vigor and absorption factors of engagement showed a positive relationship with empathy, positive affect, and all of the Big Five personality factors except neuroticism with which the relationship was negative. Personality affected the vigor, dedication, and absorption factors of engagement, and cognitive empathy mediated this relationship.
This study shows the need to continue investigating the factors that affect and mediate in engagement of nursing professionals.
人格特质似乎会影响敬业度和职业生活质量，而这是由护理人员的情绪和情感状态介导的。因此，本研究的目的是分析同理心、情感、人格和敬业度各成分之间的关系，找出人格特征，确定具有最大解释价值的变量，并分析易受干预的变量在人格与敬业度各成分之间关系中的中介作用。
1268名护士的样本完成了乌得勒支工作投入量表、10项大五人格量表、基本同理心量表以及正负性情绪量表。
同理心、情感和人格会影响护士的敬业度因素。敬业度的活力和专注因素与同理心、积极情感以及除神经质外的所有大五人格因素呈正相关，与神经质呈负相关。人格影响敬业度的活力、奉献和专注因素，认知同理心介导了这种关系。
本研究表明有必要继续调查影响护理专业人员敬业度并在其中起中介作用的因素。
