Work engagement is a key concept because of its positive association with physical/mental health, job performance, and well-being. This study aims to examine the relationship between organizational-level gratitude (collective gratitude) as a work climate and work engagement.
Utrecht Work Engagement Scale measured work engagement. Gratitude at Work Scale measured individual-level gratitude, and collective gratitude was calculated by aggregating individual-level gratitude after confirming within-group agreement and the intraclass correlations. Multilevel analysis was conducted.
A total of 1187 workers from 72 organizations were analyzed. The multilevel analysis showed a significant positive association between collective gratitude and work engagement while controlling for individual-level confounders.
The findings indicated developing collective gratitude would improve work engagement in the workplace. It would be useful for managers and occupational health staff to consider collective gratitude initiatives.
工作投入是一个关键概念,因为它与身心健康、工作绩效和幸福感呈正相关。本研究旨在探讨组织层面的感恩(集体感恩)作为工作氛围与工作投入之间的关系。
采用乌得勒支工作投入量表测量工作投入。工作感恩量表测量个体层面的感恩,通过在确认组内一致性和组内相关系数后聚合个体层面的感恩来计算集体感恩。采用多层次分析。
对来自 72 个组织的 1187 名员工进行了分析。多层次分析显示,在控制个体层面混杂因素后,集体感恩与工作投入呈显著正相关。
研究结果表明,培养集体感恩将提高工作场所的工作投入。对于管理者和职业健康工作人员来说,考虑集体感恩举措将是有益的。
