Mediation Effects of Calling and Role Breadth Self-efficacy on the Relationship between Supportive Supervision and Job Crafting of Nurses in General Hospitals

Abstract

This study was done to identify mediating effects of calling and role breadth self-efficacy in the relationship between supportive supervision and job crafting for nurses in general hospitals. Methods: A descriptive correlational design was used. Participants were 128 nurses in general hospitals. Measurements included the Supportive Supervision Scale, the Job Crafting Scale, the Korean version of the Calling and Vocation Questionnaire, and the Role Breadth Self-efficacy Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients analysis, and multiple regression analysis with Hayes's method for mediation. Results: Supportive supervision showed a significant positive correlation with calling (r=.51, p<.001) and role breadth self-efficacy (r=.40, p<.001). Job crafting was also significantly correlated with supportive supervision (r=.51, p<.001), calling (r=.42, p<.001), and role breadth self-efficacy (r=.38, p<.001). Furthermore, calling (β=.15, p=.013) and role breadth self-efficacy (β=.15, p=.011) showed a mediation effect on the relationship between supportive supervision and job crafting. Conclusion:The impact of supportive supervision on job crafting in general hospital nurses was mediated by calling and role breadth self-efficacy. This result suggests that strategies for enhancing supportive supervision, calling and role breadth self-efficacy of nurses in general hospitals should be considered when developing programs for improving nurses' job crafting.

Fostering proactive work behavior: Where to start?

“…That way, these employees will be the strongest determinant of their tendency to suggest good ideas through role breadth self-efficacy [ 42 ]. A previous study conducted at hospital agencies stated that supportive supervision is directly related to role breadth self-efficacy [ 43 ].…”

Influence of body image on quality of life in breast cancer patients undergoing breast reconstruction: Mediating of self‐esteem

“…Breast cancer in South Korea ranks the first (20.5%) among female cancers due to early menarche and late menopause, low fertility, decreased lactation, westernised diet, and early detection through activated breast examination (Korean Breast Cancer Society, 2020). The number of breast cancer patients is steadily increasing, while the level of treatment has improved due to the activation of breast examination and the advancement of medical technology (Han, 2020; Korean Breast Cancer Society, 2020). As a result, the 5‐year survival rate of breast cancer patients is considered as the highest in the world (Park et al, 2017).…”

“…For women, the breast is an intrinsic body part that symbolises maternal love, femininity, and sexual attractiveness Koçan & Gürsoy, 2016. Thus, loss and deformation of breasts that occur during breast cancer treatment negatively affect the body image of women with breast cancer (Han, 2020; Thakur et al, 2022). In addition, mastectomy causes not only physical damage, but also psychological damage such as loss of attractiveness as a woman and loss of interest from a spouse, resulting in loss of self‐esteem (Dempsey et al, 2022; Lundberg & Phoosuwan, 2022).…”
