“…It means that simultaneously competence and self-efficacy contribute 74.9% in increasing work engagement, and the rest of 25.1% is influenced by other factors not examined. This result is in line with previous research from (Haruna & Mathandan, 2017;Hontake & Ariyoshi, 2017;Hu et al, 2021) bahwa kompetensi berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap keterikatan kerja dan penelitian dari (Mache et al, 2014;Na-Nan, Khantong & Joungtrakul, 2021;Orgambized, Borrego & Aguado, 2019) states that self-efficacy has a positive and significant effect on work engagement.

“…Level, generalization, and strength features are characteristics of self-efficacy. Selfconfidence allows them to act following what they believe to be a form of operational control (Haruna & Mathandan, 2017;Hontake & Ariyoshi, 2017;Hu et al, 2021). Furthermore, self-efficacy has a significant effect on work engagement (Mache et al, 2018;Na-Nan, Khantong & Joungtrakul, 2021;Orgambized, Borrego & Aguado, 2019), so it can be assumed that the research hypothesis: H1 : Simultaneously, competence and self-efficacy affect the work engagement of health workers in inpatient installations.…”

This study aimed to obtain empirical evidence of the effect of competence and self-efficacy on service quality with work engagement as an intervening variable using a cross-sectional study design and 100 health workers with civil servant status as respondents. The study's results prove that simultaneously and partially, competence and self-efficacy have a positive and significant direct effect on work engagement and service quality, and work engagement has a positive and significant effect on service quality. So work engagement positively mediates the relationship between competence and self-efficacy in improving the service quality. The partisanship of health workers by involving themselves will make competence and management efforts in developing self-efficacy more effective in improving the ability of health workers to deliver quality services to inpatients. Competence will enable health workers to improve the quality of services more optimally if they appreciate interprofessional input and fully practice their knowledge. The importance of generalizations that management must develop for health workers in giving trust and experience will be an impetus for health workers to provide quality services in inpatient installations.

Nurses passed through many stressful experiences during nursing work. Emotional support and considering their emotional needs can alleviate such work-associated tension and contribute to the quality of their performance. Nurses’ happiness and awareness of their influence on work are necessary blocks to build the nurses’ emotional steadiness, and thus their work retention and turnover rates would be maintained. This study establishes to attain two aims: First: to identify the levels of nurses’ happiness and the awareness of their influence on work, in governmental and private hospitals, in Jeddah, Kingdom Saudi Arabia (KSA). Second: to determine the correlation between those perceived variables. Thus, a descriptive, correlative and comparative research design was employed with 300 registered nurses in King Abd El Aziz governmental hospital and 200 registered nurses in private International Medical Center, Jeddah, KSA. A survey method was applied for data collection, and the study questionnaire involved three parts. Part one is about nurses’ personal profile. The second part included happiness subscale, which was developed by Warr et al., in 1979 and the third one is the individual influence on the work scale that was developed by Toode et al., in 2015. The study findings reveal that the majority of both study groups reported a fair level of happiness, with a moderate awareness level of their influence on work. Additionally, nurses who are working in private hospital have a higher awareness level of their influence on work and happiness, more than the nurses who are working in the governmental hospital. Study subjects who experience a high level of happiness have a high level of awareness of their influence on the work. Therefore, the correlation coefficient among both research variables in both hospitals indicated a noteworthy stronger positive correlation. Conclusion and recommendations: nurse’s happiness and awareness of their influence on work are essential emotional aspects to be considered in nursing management. Fitting plan for nurses’ psychological stability at work should be designed and implemented, particularly in governmental hospitals in Jeddah. Also, Nurse Manager should assess and maintain a high nurses’ happiness level and awareness of their influence on the work; consequently, nurses work product will be improved. Further studies are needed to investigate the study variables by different measurement tools for behaviors or skills. A study about an assessment of the relation between the nurse’s emotional status and their performance is suggested.

Background Work engagement in nursing is pivotal for quality care and workforce stability. Under the healthcare goals of Vision 2030, understanding and improving the engagement of nurses is critical in Saudi Arabia. Yet, the current literature on the work engagement of Saudi nurses is scant, presenting a knowledge gap. Objective This study aimed to evaluate work engagement levels among Saudi nurses at King Abdulaziz Hospital, Jeddah, and identify key contributing factors. Methods A quantitative cross-sectional study design was utilized. A structured questionnaire assessing demographic information, work-related characteristics, and levels of work engagement using the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale was distributed electronically to 466 Saudi nurses at the hospital in November, 2019. Two hundred twenty-four nurses responded. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis tests, and Spearman's correlation and linear regression analysis to examine relationships between engagement and factors. Results The mean engagement score was 66.16%, with absorption scoring the highest. Work engagement was significantly associated with years of experience, work position, and employment status. Engagement was higher in nurses with over 20 years of experience and managers. Income level approached a significant relationship with engagement. Demographic factors did not correlate significantly with engagement. Conclusion The study found that work engagement among Saudi nurses was significantly influenced by experience, work position, and employment status. These findings highlight the need for a strategic focus on career development and job satisfaction to boost engagement. Future research should explore interventions that enhance engagement and their effects on healthcare outcomes.
