Abstract

The high performance of core members of social organizations (SOs) caring for the elderly can enhance the quality of management and services, thereby improving the life satisfaction of older adults residing there. However, the factors influencing the performance of core members and their pathways remain unclear. This research seeks to uncover how social support mediates and self-efficacy moderates the association between a social network and individual performance of core members of SOs caring for the elderly. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from June to August 2023 in Shanghai, China, and data on participants' demographics, social network, social support, individual performance, and self-efficacy were collected. Hierarchical stepwise regression, bootstrap analysis, and simple slope method analysis were used to test potential mediating and moderating effects. After adjusting for confounders, the total effect of a social network on core members' individual performance (β = 0.078, 95% CI: 0.052-0.103) consisted of a direct effect (β = 0.059, 95% CI: 0.030-0.087) as well as an indirect effect mediated through social support (β = 0.019, 95% CI: 0.006-0.033). In addition, self-efficacy was identified as a moderating factor in the relationship between a social network and individual performance, with higher levels of self-efficacy diminishing the influence of a social network on performance outcomes. An extensive social network can enhance social support for core members of SOs caring for the elderly, thereby improving individual performance. Concurrently, targeted interventions should be developed to draw on self-efficacy to activate social network resources and to have a synergistic effect on individual performance.

社会网络对社会养老组织核心成员个体绩效的影响:社会支持与自我效能感的调节中介模型
养老社会组织核心成员的高绩效可以提升养老社会组织的管理和服务质量,从而提高养老社会组织中老年人的生活满意度。然而,影响核心成员绩效的因素及其路径尚不清楚。本研究旨在揭示社会支持如何中介和自我效能调节社会网络和个人表现之间的关系的核心成员照顾老人。本研究于2023年6月至8月在中国上海进行了横断面调查,收集了参与者的人口统计学、社会网络、社会支持、个人表现和自我效能感的数据。采用层次逐步回归分析、自举分析和简单斜率法分析来检验潜在的中介和调节效应。在调整混杂因素后,社会网络对核心成员个人绩效的总影响(β = 0.078, 95% CI: 0.052-0.103)包括直接影响(β = 0.059, 95% CI: 0.030-0.087)以及通过社会支持介导的间接影响(β = 0.019, 95% CI: 0.006-0.033)。此外,在社会网络和个人绩效之间的关系中,自我效能感被认为是一个调节因素,较高水平的自我效能感会减弱社会网络对绩效结果的影响。广泛的社会网络可以增强对养老组织核心成员的社会支持,从而提高个体绩效。同时,应制定有针对性的干预措施,利用自我效能来激活社会网络资源,并对个体绩效产生协同效应。
