Social responsibility and subjective well-being of volunteers for COVID-19: The mediating role of job involvement

Abstract

AimOur study aimed to investigate the effect of social responsibility on the subjective well-being of volunteers for COVID-19 and to examine the mediating role of job involvement in this relationship.BackgroundNowadays, more and more people join volunteer service activities. As we all know, volunteer work contributes to society without any return. Volunteers often have a strong sense of social responsibility and reap subjective well-being in their dedication. Although research shows that social responsibility will drive them to participate in volunteer work actively, it is less clear whether job involvement will impact their subjective well-being.MethodsThe data were collected in the precaution zone in Shanghai, China, from April to May 2022. A sample of 302 volunteers for COVID-19 completed the social responsibility scale, subjective well-being scale and job involvement scale in the form of an electronic questionnaire on their mobile phones. A structural equation model was adopted to verify the research hypotheses.ResultsSocial responsibility was significantly and positively related to volunteers’ subjective well-being and job involvement (p < 0.05). Job involvement fully mediates the relationship between volunteers’ social responsibility and subjective well-being.ConclusionSocial responsibility is critical to predicting volunteers’ subjective well-being. Job involvement plays an intervening mechanism in explaining how social responsibility promotes volunteers’ subjective well-being.

Investigación en bioética: Análisis cienciométríco

“…Es así como la bioética ha generado múltiples códigos y directrices para ayudar a los profesionales de la salud e investigadores a abordar los problemas éticos que surgen en estas áreas, constituyéndose en un componente de las sociedades (Guerra, 2009;Lolas, 2010;Ramos et al, 2015;Ghaly, El Akoum y Afdhal, 2023;Van der Graaf et al, 2023). Algunos ejemplos de estos códigos y directrices incluyen la Declaración de Helsinki, la Declaración Universal sobre Bioética y Derechos Humanos de la UNESCO y la Declaración de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos de los Niños (Langlois, 2008;Cherry, 2009;Trotter, 2009;Streuli, Michel y Vayena, 2011;Woods y McCormack, 2013;Carnevale y Manjavidze, 2016;Wu et al, 2022).…”

Compulsory citizenship behaviour and job outcome among unpaid interns: the buffering role of perceived co-worker support

“…As such, it is crucial for organizations to cultivate an engaging and positive internship experience for their interns. This can be accomplished by offering stimulating assignments, skill development opportunities and consistent feedback and acknowledgement (Azila-Gbettor, 2023; Wu et al. , 2022).…”

“…En este sentido, es posible evidenciar que el ámbito de la bioética se relaciona con múltiples áreas de desempeño organizacional, involucrando comités de ética y códigos de conducta que orientan el comportamiento de las personas en contextos profesionales y organizacionales, como la Declaración de Helsinki, la Declaración Universal sobre Bioética y Derechos Humanos de la UNESCO, el Convenio sobre Derechos Humanos y Biomedicina o Convenio de Oviedo, entre otras normativas (Langlois, 2008;Zwart, 2008;Cherry, 2009;Trotter, 2009;Lolas, 2010;Hanson, 2011;Streuli et al, 2011;Woods y McCormack, 2013;Ramos et al, 2015;Carnevale y Manjavidze, 2016;Wu et al, 2022).…”
