“…Based on latent profile analysis results, three types of WFC have been identified: "low-conflict type" (31.11%), "work-dominant-conflict type" (32.20%), and "high-conflict type" (36.69%). These results are consistent with previous research by Vaziri et al (37), Zhang et al (41), Rantanen et al (42), and other research teams that investigated employees from various industries using the Work-Family Conflict and Enrichment Questionnaires, demonstrating the heterogeneity of the Work-Family Interface types. While the Work-Family Interface exhibits overall heterogeneity, its classification with respect to WFC is consistent, and WFC can be categorized into three types: high in WIF and FIW, higher in WIF than in FIW, and low in WIF and FIW.…”

ObjectiveTo clarify subgroups of married female nurses experiencing work–family conflict (WFC), explore the factors associated with the subgroups, and determine how desired support strategies differ among the subgroups.MethodsData was collected from a sample of 646 married female nurses from public hospitals in Zhejiang Province, China, in December 2021. Latent profile analysis was used to group the participants, and multiple logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with higher WFC. The STROBE criteria were used to report results.ResultsAccording to latent profile analysis, there were three distinct profiles of WFC among married female nurses: “low-conflict type,” “work-dominant-conflict type,” and “high-conflict type.” These profiles differed in the number of children, night shifts, family economic burden, childcare during working hours, family harmony, colleague support, and nurse–patient relationships. Nurses with multiple children, higher pressures in childcare during working hours, heavier family economic burdens, lower family harmony, lower colleague support, and poorer nurse–patient relationships are more likely to be classified as “high-conflict type” nurses.ConclusionThis study found that married female nurses experience different types of WFCs. The structure of these WFCs and their associated factors suggests that customized intervention strategies can be developed to address the specific needs of married female nurses.

“…We used a six‐item short version of the Work‒Family Enrichment Scale (Kacmar et al., 2014), which consists of two dimensions: work‐to‐family enrichment and family‐to‐work. It has good reliability and validity in the Chinese population (Zhang et al., 2022). Participants responded on a 5‐point scale, ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree) with higher scores indicating a more mutually supportive interface between family and work.…”

AimsThe purpose of this study was to identify the mediating and moderating mechanisms by which social connectedness predicts life satisfaction among Chinese nurses.BackgroundPrevious researchers have primarily focused on sociodemographic and occupational domain risk factors for nurses’ life satisfaction with relatively little insight into facilitative and protective factors and underlying psychological mechanisms.MethodsWe investigated 459 Chinese nurses’ social connectedness, work–family enrichment, self‐concept clarity, and life satisfaction via a cross‐sectional design. We explored the underlying predictive mechanisms among these variables by creating a moderated mediation model. We followed STROBE checklist.ResultsWork–family enrichment played a mediating role in understanding the positive effects of social connectedness on nurses’ life satisfaction. In addition, the moderating effect of self‐concept clarity was manifested itself in the association between work–family enrichment and life satisfaction.Discussion and conclusionInterpersonal asset (social connectedness) and the positive aspect of the work–family interface (work–family enrichment) were significant contributors to nurses’ life satisfaction. In particular, high self‐concept clarity can enhance the beneficial effect of work‒family enrichment on life satisfaction.Implications for nursing policy and practiceStrengthening social connectedness, promoting synergy in work‒family roles, and maintaining a clarity of self‐concept are important intervention pathways to enhance the health and well‐being of nurses.

Callings can take different shapes: Scope, proximity and duration as new complexifications of calling

Recent research on calling has highlighted its nature as a ‘double‐edged sword’ that—while conferring benefits generally—may create vulnerabilities in some cases. We suggest an explanation that complexifies our conceptualization of what calling is. Traditional conceptualizations of calling focus on differences in degree, measuring calling on some numerical scale to answer the question, ‘To what degree do you perceive a calling?’ Our proposed conceptualization of calling argues for differences in the shape of calling, arguing that calling can take different shapes based on three facets: scope (callings can differ between narrow and broad), time proximity (callings can differ between immediate and distal) and duration (callings can differ between short‐term and lifelong). We present a new model depicting these shapes of calling, explain how each advances our understanding of calling above and beyond existing conceptualizations and taxonomies and offer propositions as to how this new conceptualization provides insight into individuals' experiences of pursuing their calling.
