Abstract

Background

Person-organization fit and job embeddedness affect nurse performance and turnover intention, thus disrupting the functioning of the organization.

Objective

This study aimed to ascertain the mediating role of workplace happiness in the relationship between person-organization fit and job embeddedness in nursing.

Methods

Conducted as a descriptive and cross-sectional study, this study included 240 nurses working at a public hospital between January 15 and March 15, 2024. Data were collected using a descriptive information form, the Person-Organization Fit Scale, the Global Job Embeddedness Scale, and the Happiness at Work Scale. Statistical analyses were undertaken using IBM SPSS Statistics version 26 and the PROCESS Makro v4.2 plug-in.

Results

The findings revealed that person-organization fit significantly and positively affected workplace happiness and workplace happiness significantly and positively affected job embeddedness. Furthermore, the indirect effect of person-organization fit on job embeddedness was significant; therefore, workplace happiness mediated the relationship between person-organization fit and job embeddedness.

Conclusions

This study's results reveal that ensuring nurses' person-organization fit and increasing their workplace happiness levels contribute significantly to increasing their level of job embeddedness. Healthcare organizations and nurse managers play a crucial role in improving job embeddedness. Nurse managers can improve nurses' levels of job embeddedness by developing strategies to promote person-organization fit and increase workplace happiness.

护理人员组织契合度与工作嵌入的关系：工作场所幸福感的中介作用

背景个人-组织契合度和工作嵌入性影响护士绩效和离职倾向，从而破坏组织的功能。目的探讨工作场所幸福感在护理人员个人-组织契合度与工作嵌入度之间的中介作用。方法采用描述性和横断面研究的方法，对2024年1月15日至3月15日在某公立医院工作的240名护士进行研究。数据收集使用描述性信息表，个人-组织契合度量表，全球工作嵌入度量表和工作幸福感量表。使用IBM SPSS Statistics version 26和PROCESS Makro v4.2插件进行统计分析。结果组织与个人的契合度显著正向影响工作场所幸福感，工作场所幸福感显著正向影响工作嵌入性。个人-组织契合度对工作嵌入性的间接影响显著；因此，工作场所幸福感在个人与组织契合度和工作嵌入度之间起中介作用。结论本研究结果表明，确保护士的个人与组织契合度和提高护士的工作场所幸福感对提高护士的工作嵌入度有显著的促进作用。医疗机构和护士管理者在提高工作嵌入性方面发挥着至关重要的作用。护士管理者可以通过制定策略来提高护士的工作嵌入水平，以促进个人与组织的契合，增加工作场所的幸福感。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice aims to promote the evaluation and development of clinical practice across medicine, nursing and the allied health professions. All aspects of health services research and public health policy analysis and debate are of interest to the Journal whether studied from a population-based or individual patient-centred perspective. Of particular interest to the Journal are submissions on all aspects of clinical effectiveness and efficiency including evidence-based medicine, clinical practice guidelines, clinical decision making, clinical services organisation, implementation and delivery, health economic evaluation, health process and outcome measurement and new or improved methods (conceptual and statistical) for systematic inquiry into clinical practice. Papers may take a classical quantitative or qualitative approach to investigation (or may utilise both techniques) or may take the form of learned essays, structured/systematic reviews and critiques.
