Abstract
Background: Identifying personal, social and emotional resources relevant to nurses' wellbeing and job engagement is important for addressing workforce shortages and nurse burnout, and turnover.
Aim: This study examined the relationships between New Zealand (NZ) nurses' personal resources (resilience, adaptability, self-efficacy, collective efficacy) and their occupational commitment and job engagement.
Sample: Participants were 270 New Zealand nurses.
Methods: Quantitative research design involving a confirmatory factor analysis was used to provide measurement support and to obtain latent correlations among factors. The final analysis was performed using structural equation modelling. The Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model was adopted as the conceptual framework for this study.
Results: The personal resources for New Zealand nurses of self-efficacy, adaptability and resilience were generally positively associated with their occupational commitment and job engagement. In addition, New Zealand nurses' collective efficacy was seen as important for managing the demands of the job.
Conclusion: Taken together, findings offer an understanding about the salient personal and collective resources in relation to New Zealand nurses wellbeing and job engagement.
Implications for the profession: Future research could explore how integrating cultural perspectives can improve job satisfaction and retention among nurses who identify as coming from collectivist cultures. The personal resources used in this study also need to be examined from a Māori perspective to ensure their relevance to the health and wellbeing of Māori nurses.
Impact: This study highlights the crucial role of collective support in enhancing job engagement among nurses. It underscores the importance of incorporating a cultural lens in workplace research, showing how collective efficacy can help individual nurses adapt to workplace challenges and reduce their intention to leave amid global nurse shortages.
Reporting method: STROBE. No patient/public contribution.
