Abstract

Objective To explore the mediating role of psychological capital and organizational commitment between calling and work engagement of clinical nurses. Methods The convenience sampling method was used. From June 2022 to July 2022,633 clinical nurses from three tertiary hospitals in Guangzhou were selected as the research objects. General information questionnaire,Calling Scale,Psychological Capital Scale,Organizational Commitment Scale,Work Engagement Scale were used to investigate. Results The calling of clinical nurses was scored as (3.69±0.73),psychological capital was scored as (4.03±0.62),organizational commitment was scored as (2.70±0.54),work engagement was scored as(3.93±1.22). There were positive correlations among the four variables(P<0.001). The mediation model revealed that the direct effect of calling on work engagement was significant(β=0.269,P<0.001). Besides,calling could also indirectly affect work engagement through three pathways:the independent mediating effect of psychological capital(β=0.112,P<0.001),the independent mediating effect of organizational commitment(β=0.122,P<0.001),and the chain mediating effect of psychological capital and organizational commitment(β=0.038,P<0.001),with the mediating effects accounting for 50.28% of the total effects. Conclusion Psychological capital and organizational commitment play a mediating role between clinical nurses’ calling and work engagement,and their work engagement can be increased by improving clinical nurses’ psychological capital and strengthening organizational commitment.
