Abstract
Objective: To examine the mediating role of job performance in the relationship between employee entitlement and flourishing among nurses in Saudi Arabia and Jordan.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in government hospitals located in eastern Saudi Arabia and northern Jordan. Utilizing convenience sampling, data were collected from a sample of 437 nurses. The instruments employed in this study included the Flourishing Index, the Job Performance Scale, and the Employee Entitlement Scale.
Results: In Saudi Arabia, the model accounted for 15.9% of the variance in flourishing and 7.1% in performance. In Jordan, the model explained 15.2% of flourishing but only 4.3% of performance. Mediation analysis revealed that entitlement exerted an indirect influence on flourishing through performance in both countries (Saudi Arabia: indirect effect = 0.107, p < .001; Jordan: indirect effect = 0.062), with a fully mediated effect observed in Jordan.
Conclusion: Job performance serves as a mediating factor between entitlement and flourishing among nurses. These findings provide valuable insights for healthcare administrators and policymakers seeking to improve nurse well-being through targeted performance support interventions.
