Although the nonprofit sector in China has grown substantially in past decades, its future is threatened by high turnover and burnout. It is thus necessary to investigate the factors that contribute to employee well-being (EWB) among nonprofit employees in China. This study used 233 foundation employees in China to examine the effects of job demands and resources (JD-R) on EWB. Estimates produced by regression analyses indicated that job resources (JR) have a strong effect on EWB (Beta = 0.53), as well as on the three EWB subscales (workplace, psychological, and life well-being). While job demands (JD) had no effects on overall well-being, they were negatively associated with workplace well-being (WWB) (Beta = -0.12). Robustness tests were conducted to further examine how JD and JR dimensions affect EWB and its subscales. Based on the findings, we underscore the importance of JR for EWB among foundation employees in China as well as that of implementing interventions that may alleviate the cost of emotional workload as a JD.
尽管中国的非营利部门在过去几十年中大幅增长,但其未来受到高离职率和职业倦怠的威胁。因此,有必要调查影响中国非营利组织员工幸福感(EWB)的因素。本研究以233名中国基金会员工为样本,考察工作要求与资源(JD-R)对EWB的影响。回归分析结果表明,工作资源(JR)对EWB有很强的影响(β = 0.53),对EWB的三个子量表(工作场所幸福感、心理幸福感和生活幸福感)也有很强的影响。虽然工作要求(JD)对总体幸福感没有影响,但与工作场所幸福感(WWB)呈负相关(β = -0.12)。我们进行了稳健性检验,以进一步考察JD和JR维度如何影响EWB及其子量表。基于研究结果,我们强调了JR对中国基金会员工EWB的重要性,以及实施干预措施以减轻作为JD的情感工作量成本的重要性。
