The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships among perceptions of decent work, psychological empowerment, and work immersion among nurses, hypothesizing that psychological empowerment mediates the relationship between perceptions of decent work and work immersion.
At present, there are many studies on nurses' perceptions of decent labor and work immersion in China, but the relationship between them has not been discussed from a psychological perspective.
The sample consisted of clinical nurses in Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Hubei, and Guangdong provinces, China, and the nurses' general information, decent labor perception, psychological empowerment, and work immersion scores were assessed using the General Information Scale, Decent Labor Perception Scale, Psychological Empowerment Scale, and Work Immersion Scale, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data.
The total scores of nurses' perceptions of decent work, psychological empowerment, and work immersion were at a moderate level. The total nurse work immersion score and each dimension score were positively correlated with the total nurse decent work perception score and the total psychological empowerment score. Decent work perception and psychological empowerment directly and positively predicted work immersion; decent work perception also indirectly acted on work immersion through psychological empowerment.
Nurses' work immersion was moderate, and this study explored the mechanisms by which perceptions of decent work affect nurses' work immersion from a psychological perspective, validating the mediating role of psychological empowerment. This study emphasizes that nursing managers should fully understand the importance of nurses' work immersion, continuously improve nurses' decent labor perceptions, enhance their psychological empowerment level, improve their work immersion, and enhance the quality of nursing services.
本研究旨在探讨护士对体面工作、心理授权和工作投入的认知之间的关系，并假设心理授权在体面工作认知与工作投入之间起中介作用。
目前，中国有许多关于护士对体面劳动和工作投入的研究，但从心理学角度探讨它们之间的关系还很少。
样本包括中国江西、浙江、湖北和广东四省的临床护士，使用一般信息量表、体面劳动认知量表、心理授权量表和工作投入量表分别评估护士的一般信息、体面劳动认知、心理授权和工作投入得分。采用 Pearson 相关分析和结构方程模型进行数据分析。
护士对体面工作、心理授权和工作投入的总分处于中等水平。护士工作投入总分及各维度得分与护士对体面工作的总认知得分和心理授权总分呈正相关。体面工作认知和心理授权直接且积极地预测工作投入；体面工作认知还通过心理授权对工作投入产生间接影响。
护士的工作投入处于中等水平，本研究从心理学角度探讨了体面工作认知对护士工作投入的影响机制，验证了心理授权的中介作用。本研究强调，护理管理者应充分认识到护士工作投入的重要性，不断提高护士对体面劳动的认知，增强其心理授权水平，提高工作投入，提升护理服务质量。
