This study investigates the impact of perceived inclusion among healthcare employees on intrinsic motivation and its subsequent effects on work engagement and stress levels. Drawing from multiple theoretical frameworks, the study hypothesizes the following: (a) perceived inclusion positively influences employees' intrinsic motivation, and (b) perceived inclusion and intrinsic motivation serve as resources that enhance employee well-being by promoting work engagement and reducing stress.
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: Data were collected from 407 healthcare workers across the European Union. The research objectives were achieved through statistical analysis of the gathered responses.
The results indicate a positive relationship between perceived inclusion and intrinsic motivation. Importantly, both perceived inclusion and intrinsic motivation emerged as significant predictors of work engagement. Additionally, perceived inclusion was found to have a negative association with stress levels, underscoring its importance in healthcare management.
RESEARCH LIMITATIONS/IMPLICATIONS: The study is subject to certain limitations, including the cross-sectional design and reliance on self-reported data, which may affect the generalizability of the findings.
The findings highlight the importance of fostering perceived inclusion and intrinsic motivation among healthcare employees to enhance work engagement and reduce stress, thus offering valuable insights for healthcare management practices.
ORIGINALITY/VALUE: This study contributes to the existing literature by examining the complex interplay between perceived inclusion, intrinsic motivation, work engagement and stress within the healthcare sector. It also identifies avenues for future research in this area.
本研究旨在探讨医疗保健员工感知到的包容感对内在动机的影响，以及内在动机对工作投入和压力水平的后续影响。本研究借鉴了多个理论框架，提出以下假设：（a）感知到的包容感对员工的内在动机有积极影响；（b）感知到的包容感和内在动机作为资源，通过促进工作投入和减轻压力来提高员工的幸福感。
设计/方法/途径：数据来自欧盟的 407 名医疗保健工作者。通过对收集到的回复进行统计分析，实现了研究目标。
结果表明，感知到的包容感与内在动机之间存在正相关关系。重要的是，感知到的包容感和内在动机都成为工作投入的显著预测因素。此外，感知到的包容感与压力水平呈负相关，这突显出它在医疗保健管理中的重要性。
研究局限性/影响：该研究存在一定的局限性，包括横断面设计和依赖自我报告数据，这可能会影响研究结果的普遍性。
研究结果强调了在医疗保健员工中培养感知包容感和内在动机的重要性，以提高工作投入和减轻压力，从而为医疗保健管理实践提供了有价值的见解。
原创性/价值：本研究通过在医疗保健领域内检验感知包容感、内在动机、工作投入和压力之间的复杂相互作用，为现有文献做出了贡献。它还确定了该领域未来研究的方向。
