To investigate the relationship between work readiness and work well-being for newly graduated nurses and the mediating role of emotional labor and psychological capital in this relationship.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted in mainland China. A total of 478 newly graduated nurses completed the Work Readiness Scale, Emotional Labour Scale, Psychological Capital Questionnaire, and Work Well-being Scale. Descriptive statistical methods, Pearson correlation analysis, and a structural equation model were used to analyze the available data.
Newly graduated nurses' work readiness was significantly positively correlated with work well-being (r = 0.21, p < 0.01), deep acting (r = 0.11, p < 0.05), and psychological capital (r = 0.18, p < 0.01). Emotional labor and psychological capital partially mediated the relationship between work readiness and work well-being. Additionally, emotional labor and psychological capital had a chain-mediating effect on the association.
Work readiness not only affects newly graduated nurses' work well-being directly but also indirectly through emotional labor and psychological capital. These results provide theoretical support and guidance for the study and improvement of newly graduated nurses' work well-being and emphasize the importance of intervention measures to improve work readiness and psychological capital and the adoption of deep-acting emotional-labor strategies.
探讨新毕业护士工作准备度与工作幸福感的关系，以及情绪劳动和心理资本在两者关系中的中介作用。
本研究采用横断面调查方法，在中国内地选取了 478 名新毕业护士，使用工作准备度量表、情绪劳动量表、心理资本问卷和工作幸福感量表进行调查。采用描述性统计分析、Pearson 相关分析和结构方程模型对收集的数据进行分析。
新毕业护士的工作准备度与工作幸福感呈显著正相关（r=0.21，p<0.01），与深度扮演（r=0.11，p<0.05）和心理资本（r=0.18，p<0.01）呈显著正相关。情绪劳动和心理资本部分中介了工作准备度与工作幸福感之间的关系。此外，情绪劳动和心理资本对两者之间的关系具有链式中介作用。
工作准备度不仅直接影响新毕业护士的工作幸福感，还通过情绪劳动和心理资本间接影响工作幸福感。这些结果为研究和改善新毕业护士的工作幸福感提供了理论支持和指导，强调了干预措施的重要性，以提高工作准备度和心理资本，并采用深度扮演的情绪劳动策略。
