Nursing students' belongingness and workplace satisfaction: Quantitative findings of a mixed methods study

Job-related meaningfulness moderates the association between over-commitment and emotional exhaustion in nurses

“…We found a trend for higher CERES scores in nurses at the beginning of their career, in both sexes, which may be due to better adaptive psychosocial functioning and environmental mastering in earlier stages of their career (Dezutter et al., ), and may be accompanied by feelings of growth and higher self‐acceptance (Frankl, ). Another factor contributing to higher ratings for CERES in this group could be the still fresh willingness to demonstrate one's ability to provide adequate support for patients’ demands and handicaps, thereby receiving acceptance from colleagues, superiors and patients (Borrott, Day, Sedgwick, & Levett‐Jones, ). Although females tend to receive higher values on the CERES scale in general, this difference was not observed in those with job experience exceeding 25 years.…”

A confirmatory study of the relations between workplace sexism, sense of belonging, mental health, and job satisfaction among women in male‐dominated industries

“…Poorer sense of belonging and social connectedness have also been found to be related to poorer mental health (Hagerty, Williams, Coyne, & Early, ; Rubin & Kelly, ; Rubin et al, ; Saeri, Cruwys, Barlow, Stronge, & Sibley, ; Stebleton, Soria, & Huesman, ), most likely due to feelings of loneliness, alienation, and ostracism (Mellor, Stokes, Firth, Hayashi, & Cummins, ). In addition, poorer sense of belonging at work is also associated with lower job satisfaction (e.g., Borrott, Day, Sedgwick, & Levett‐Jones, ; Skaalvik & Skaalvik, ; Van Dick et al, ; Van Dick, van Knippenberg, Kerschreiter, Hertel, & Wieseke, ; Winter‐Collins & McDaniel, ). Given these prior findings, it is possible that workplace sexism reduces women’s sense of belonging in their industry, and that this reduced sense of belonging then impacts negatively on their mental health and job satisfaction.…”

Why and when does job satisfaction promote unethical pro‐organizational behaviours? Testing a moderated mediation model

“…Second, we advanced the research on job satisfaction. In previous studies, scholars have focused on the positive role of job satisfaction in employees' behaviours, such as organizational citizenship, job performance and creativity (Borrott, Day, Sedgwick, & Levett-Jones, 2016;Li, Liang, & Crant, 2010). However, few studies have investigated the negative aspects of job satisfaction.…”
