Abstract
Introduction
Nurses' vigor at work profoundly impacts the quality of patient care. However, the determinants of nurses' vigor remain underexplored in the current nursing literature, and the mechanism through which these determinants exert their effects remains unclear.
Aim
This study aimed to elucidate the mediating role of psychological ownership in linking decent work to nurses' vigor at work.
Methods
A two-wave, time-lagged study was conducted to collect data from 289 nurses working across three hospitals in Port Said, Egypt, between March and June 2023. Data were collected using the Decent Work Scale, the Psychological Ownership Scale, the Shirom–Melamed Vigor Measure, on an Introductory Information Form. Mediation testing was performed using structural equation modeling.
Results
Decent work was significantly associated with psychological ownership and vigor at work. Psychological ownership partially mediated the relationship between decent work and nurses' vigor at work.
Conclusion
Decent work practices are critical in fostering nurses' vigor while working, and psychological ownership plays a mediating role in this relationship.
Clinical relevance
Hospital administrators should value decent work practices, which could enhance psychological ownership, resulting in a potential improvement in nurses' vigor at work.
