Aim. This study aimed at evaluating the effects of a job crafting intervention program for nurses on their job crafting behaviors, harmonious work passion, and career commitment. Background. Nurses generally work in suboptimal environments with chronic low resources and high demands. Job crafting may be a cost-effective strategy to deal effectively with such environments. However, its effectiveness as a nursing intervention program remains unclear. Methods. An open-label randomized controlled trial was conducted at a hospital in Port Said, Egypt. The study enrolled 94 nurses. Participants were assigned randomly to the intervention group (n = 47) or the control group (n = 47). The intervention group had a 2-day workshop, 3 weeks of job crafting implementation, and a reflection session, whereas the control group participated in a 1-day workshop. Data were collected at baseline, 2 weeks, and 3 months after the intervention in both groups by using the Job Crafting Scale, Job Crafting Knowledge Questionnaire, Harmonious Work Passion Scale, and Career Commitment Scale. Results. Compared with the control group, the intervention group experienced a higher level of job crafting behaviors and reported a greater improvement in harmonious work passion, but not in career commitment. Conclusion. Nurses can be trained on job crafting behaviors, which can lead to the maximization of job resources, optimization of job demands, and enhancement of nurses’ harmonious work passion. Implications for Nursing Management. Nursing managers should train nurses regularly on how to be job crafters because it is an effective tool that helps nurses deal with limited job resources and increased job demands and makes them more harmoniously passionate about their work.

Aim This study aimed to examine the effects of a person–job match in the six areas of worklife on Egyptian nurses’ job embeddedness. Background Healthcare organizations struggle to embed nurses in their job. However, the antecedents of nurses’ job embeddedness are not fully known, especially those related to organizational factors. This study is an initiative to contribute in this field. Methods A national cross-sectional study that enrolled 1003 Egyptian licensed nurses was conducted. Data were collected using an online-based version of the Areas of Worklife Scale and the Global Job Embeddedness Scale and analyzed using the descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis. Results Nurses reported a moderate level of job embeddedness with a person–job match in control, reward, and community. Regression analysis showed four of six areas of worklife (value, fairness, community, and control) contributing to nurses’ job embeddedness. Conclusion Nurses who experience a person–job match in the value, fairness, community, and control areas of worklife are more likely to embed in their job. A match in the value area has the great potentials for nurses to embed in their job. Implications for nursing management Actions aimed at embedding nurses should prioritize on optimizing a person–job match in value, fairness, community, and control.
