Abstract

Applying job demands-resources theory, this quasiexperimental, three-wave study investigated whether work engagement can be increased via an eLearning intervention aiming to increase job crafting behavior. Furthermore, proposing a refinement to job demands-resources theory, that is, adding "a health enhancement process," this study also investigated whether through improvements in work engagement, the intervention would yield health-related benefits, utilizing an objective indicator of physical health (i.e., optimal functioning of autonomic nervous system activity indicated by increased heart rate variability [HRV]). The study was conducted among all the employees of a municipality (n = 69/experimental group, n = 45/control group), and the effects were assessed 2 weeks and 4 months after the intervention. Job crafting and work engagement were measured using an electronic questionnaire, and HRV using ambulatory monitoring period of two nights' sleep. Latent change score modeling revealed, as expected, that job crafting increased both immediately and delayed after the intervention. Furthermore, as hypothesized, the intervention increased work engagement via increased job crafting when measured immediately after the intervention, but there was no indirect delayed effect on work engagement. There were no indirect immediate or delayed effects on HRV. However, unexpectedly, HRV decreased among the control group after the intervention. Thus, an eLearning intervention based on the principles of job crafting is a promising tool to increase job crafting and consequently work engagement. Furthermore, the findings provide an initial indication that a job crafting eLearning intervention could have a buffering effect on autonomic nervous system activity and help to maintain its optimal functioning.

工作制定电子学习干预能否提高工作制定和工作参与度,并增加心率变异性?测试健康增强过程。
应用工作需求-资源理论,这项准实验的三波研究调查了是否可以通过旨在增加工作塑造行为的电子学习干预来提高工作参与度。此外,本研究还提出了对工作需求资源理论的改进,即增加“健康增强过程”,并调查了通过提高工作参与度,干预是否会产生与健康相关的益处,利用身体健康的客观指标(即由心率变异性增加[HRV]指示的自主神经系统活动的最佳功能)。该研究在一个市政当局的所有员工中进行(n=69/实验组,n=45/对照组),并在干预后2周和4个月评估效果。使用电子问卷测量工作塑造和工作参与度,并使用两晚睡眠的动态监测期测量HRV。正如预期的那样,潜在变化得分模型显示,干预后,工作制定立即增加,并延迟。此外,正如假设的那样,在干预后立即测量时,干预通过增加工作制作来增加工作参与度,但对工作参与度没有间接的延迟影响。对HRV没有直接或延迟的间接影响。然而,出乎意料的是,干预后对照组的HRV有所下降。因此,基于工作塑造原则的电子学习干预是一种很有前途的工具,可以提高工作塑造,从而提高工作参与度。此外,这些发现提供了一个初步的迹象,即精心设计的电子学习干预可以对自主神经系统活动产生缓冲作用,并有助于保持其最佳功能。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2023 APA,保留所有权利)。
