Abstract

BACKGROUND

Psychological capital, encompassing hope, self-efficacy, resilience, and optimism, is increasingly recognized as a critical resource in enhancing workplace engagement and retention. In high-stress professions such as nursing, psychological capital may serve as a buffer against job demands. However, limited research exists in Egypt exploring how psychological capital influences job embeddedness, a construct reflecting an employee's attachment to their job and organization.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to examine the relationship between psychological capital and job embeddedness among nurses working in governmental hospitals in Egypt.

DESIGN

A cross-sectional, descriptive correlational design was employed, adhering to the STROBE guidelines.

METHODS

Data were collected from 431 registered nurses working across two public hospitals over three months. Standardized tools were used, including the 24-item Psychological Capital Questionnaire and the Global Job Embeddedness Scale.

RESULTS

Psychological capital showed a significant positive correlation with job embeddedness (r = 0.356, p < 0.001). Regression analysis confirmed PsyCap as a significant predictor of JE (B = 0.317, p < 0.001), accounting for 19.8% of the variance (R² = 0.198). Among PsyCap dimensions, optimism had the strongest individual correlation with JE (r = 0.406, p < 0.001). Conversely, patient load per shift was negatively associated with JE (B = - 0.269, p < 0.001).

CONCLUSION

Psychological capital is a significant linked to job embeddedness among Egyptian nurses. Nurses with higher psychological capital levels are more likely to feel anchored in their roles, whereas high patient loads erode this attachment.

NURSING IMPLICATIONS

Healthcare institutions should implement programs to develop nurses' psychological capital particularly resilience, optimism, and self-efficacy. In parallel, managing nurse workloads is essential to enhancing retention, improving work satisfaction, and ensuring sustained quality care in challenging healthcare environments.

摘要

背景

心理资本包括希望、自我效能感、心理韧性和乐观主义，越来越被视为增强工作场所敬业度和留任意愿的关键资源。在护理等高压力职业中，心理资本可能作为应对工作要求的缓冲。然而，埃及在探索心理资本如何影响工作嵌入性方面的研究有限，工作嵌入性这一概念反映了员工对其工作和组织的依恋程度。

目的

本研究旨在探讨埃及政府医院护士的心理资本与工作嵌入性之间的关系。

设计

采用横断面描述性相关设计，遵循STROBE指南。

方法

在三个月内从两家公立医院的431名注册护士中收集数据。使用了标准化工具，包括24项心理资本问卷和全球工作嵌入性量表。

结果

心理资本与工作嵌入性呈显著正相关（r = 0.356，p < 0.001）。回归分析证实心理资本是工作嵌入性的显著预测因素（B = 0.317，p < 0.001），解释了19.8%的方差（R² = 0.198）。在心理资本维度中，乐观主义与工作嵌入性的个体相关性最强（r = 0.406，p < 0.001）。相反，每班患者负荷与工作嵌入性呈负相关（B = -0.269，p < 0.001）。
