This study intended to explore the mediating effect of psychological resilience in the relationship between social undermining and psychological empowerment among nurses.
A cross-sectional correlational descriptive design was employed to fulfill the study's aim at Damietta General Hospital through convenient sample of 385 registered nurses. Data analysis was implemented using SPSS software package version 26.0.
Study findings reported that a direct effect of social undermining on psychological resilience is negative and significant (β = -0.092, SE = 0.042, Z = -2.17, p = 0.030). Similarly, psychological resilience significantly predicts psychological empowerment with a strong positive effect (β = 0.347, SE = 0.047, Z = 7.26, p = < 0.001). The direct effect of social undermining on psychological empowerment is negative and highly significant (β = -0.422, SE = 0.036, Z = -11.51, p = < 0.001).
The study concluded that social undermining is a workplace stressor that emotionally damages employees by making them feel burnt out when performing their job. It also has a negative influence on psychological empowerment of employees, and in reducing their psychological resilience. Also, psychological resilience mediates social undermining and psychological empowerment.
It is crucial for organizations to seek for promoting ethical leaders through creating an ethical infrastructure, which can forestall social undermining. Emphasizing the implementation of interventions aimed at building resilience as a strategy for mitigating the harmful effects of social undermining. Overall, this research underscores the interconnectedness of social undermining and psychological empowerment, emphasizing the necessity for supportive organizational environments that promote both resilience and psychological empowerment.
本研究旨在探讨心理韧性在护士社会破坏行为与心理授权关系中的中介作用。
采用横断面相关描述性设计，通过对达米埃塔综合医院385名注册护士的便利抽样来实现研究目的。使用SPSS 26.0软件包进行数据分析。
研究结果表明，社会破坏行为对心理韧性的直接影响为负且显著（β = -0.092，标准误=0.042，Z = -2.17，p = 0.030）。同样，心理韧性对心理授权有显著的正向预测作用（β = 0.347，标准误=0.047，Z = 7.26，p < 0.001）。社会破坏行为对心理授权的直接影响为负且高度显著（β = -0.422，标准误=0.036，Z = -11.51，p < 0.001）。
该研究得出结论，社会破坏行为是一种工作场所压力源，会在员工工作时使其感到倦怠，从而对其造成情感伤害。它还会对员工的心理授权产生负面影响，并降低其心理韧性。此外，心理韧性在社会破坏行为和心理授权之间起中介作用。
对于组织来说，通过创建道德基础设施来寻求培养道德领导者至关重要，这可以预防社会破坏行为。强调实施旨在培养韧性的干预措施，作为减轻社会破坏行为有害影响的策略。总体而言，本研究强调了社会破坏行为与心理授权之间的相互联系，强调了支持性组织环境对于促进韧性和心理授权的必要性。
