Abstract

Self‐care is proactive action that involves a repertoire of practices aimed at developing, maintaining and improving physical health and mental well‐being. Although there is a growing number of studies on mindfulness in a variety of academic fields, there is a dearth of studies that look at academics' mindful self‐care in relation to job insecurity and work passion in the higher education institutions. This study aims to examine how job insecurity is related to academic staff's work passion in Ethiopia. It also looks at the role of mindful self‐care in lessening the impact of job insecurity. A cross‐sectional study was carried out, and snowball sampling was used to collect data from a total of 251 academics, ranging in age from 23 to 66 years, who voluntarily consented to participate in the self‐report survey. Job insecurity was inversely related to passion for work and mindful self‐care. Mindful self‐care was a mediator in the link between job insecurity and passion for work. The study encourages workplace mental health professionals to consider the role of mindful self‐care in their psychological intervention programs aimed at minimizing job insecurity and increasing passion for work.
将感知到的工作不安全感与工作激情联系起来:学术人员自我保健意识的中介作用
自我保健是一种积极主动的行动,包括一系列旨在发展、保持和改善身体健康和精神健康的做法。尽管在各种学术领域对正念的研究越来越多,但很少有研究将学术人员的正念自我保健与高等教育机构的工作不安全感和工作热情联系起来。本研究旨在探讨埃塞俄比亚学术人员的工作不安全感与工作热情之间的关系。本研究还探讨了正念自我保健在减轻工作不安全感的影响方面所起的作用。本研究采用横断面研究和滚雪球抽样法,从自愿同意参与自我报告调查的 251 名学术人员中收集数据,这些学术人员的年龄从 23 岁到 66 岁不等。工作不安全感与工作热情和心灵自我关怀成反比。心灵自护是工作不安全感与工作热情之间联系的中介。这项研究鼓励职场心理健康专业人员在他们的心理干预计划中考虑正念自我保健的作用,以最大限度地减少工作不安全感,提高对工作的热情。
