“…The relevant literature includes numerous studies on organisational citizenship behaviours that have been performed in different cultures to research whether organisational citizenship is associated with certain variables or not (Afsar, Shahjehan, Cheema, & Javed, 2018; Agheli, Roshangar, Parvan, Sarbakhsh, & Shafeh, 2017; Altuntaş & Baykal, 2010; Gupta, Agarwal, & Khatri, 2016; Kazemipour, Mohamad Amin, & Pourseidi, 2012; Mahmoud & Ibrahim, 2016; Metwally, Ata, & Ahmed, 2018; Yu, Lou, Eng, Yang, & Lee, 2018). However, there is only a limited number of studies that address the concept of compulsory citizenship in nurses (Harmanci Seren & Unaldi Baydin, 2017), and there are no studies that specifically evaluate whether there is a relationship between compulsory citizenship behaviours and job stress.…”

Aim To determine whether there is a relationship between compulsory citizenship behaviours and job stress among nurses working at public hospitals. Background Nurses may face strong pressure from their managers or peers to perform role behaviours beyond what is found in their job definition. When mandated, these extra duties are called compulsory citizenship behaviours. Method This descriptive study included 569 nurses who work in three hospitals. Data were analysed using descriptive statistical analyses, linearity test, Pearson's correlation analysis, simple linear regression analysis and parametric and nonparametric tests. Results There was a significant, strong and positive relationship between the nurses' job stress and compulsory citizenship behaviours. Statistically significant differences were found between the nurses’ job stress scores according to the institution and unit they worked in and their professional experience duration. Conclusion This study found that nurses display compulsory citizenship behaviours and experience job stress at a high level. A significant relationship was found between these two variables. Implications for Nursing Management Special training programmes should be held informing managers and nurses about the negative outcomes of compulsory citizenship behaviours and positive outcomes of organisational citizenship behaviours. Appropriate opportunities and resources should be provided to cope with stress in hospital settings.

“…Pakistan is a developing country with one of the lowest nurses' population in the world (Afsar, Shahjehan, Cheema, & Javed, ). According to Pakistan Nursing Council (PNC), currently there is one nurse for 3,700 individuals or one nurse for 49 patients admitted in the hospital.…”

“…The nurse doctor ratio also remains very low at 1:6. Evidence suggests that the situation is getting worse with time as in 2016, there were only 90,276 Registered Nurses for the population of 220 million (Mashhadi, Hamid, Roshan, & Fawad, ) and nurse to patient ratio in the year 2018 was 1:50 (Afsar et al, ). This clearly shows that there is a serious shortage of nurses in the country which could further worsen with a continuous increase in population (Chen et al, ) but insufficient increase in the number of nurses as well as other health care professionals.…”

Mobile applications and websites used by individuals for creating and sharing content known as 'social media' have an impact on the lifestyle and behaviour of people around the world. Social media has a far-reaching influence on the patterns of thinking, motivations, aspirations and behaviour of individuals (Subramanian, 2017). The outcomes, thereof, are both positive (e.g. communication, sharing of information and ideas and improved civic engagement) and negative (e.g. depression, poor sleep, low performance and cyberbullying; Rook, 2015). Social media is instrumental in facilitating and sharing information not only with family, friends and social networks Abstract Aim: To investigate the effect of social networking site addiction on task distraction among nurses. Background: Most of the existing literature focuses only on positive aspects of social networking site, while negative aspects thereof have rarely been highlighted.The current study focuses on finding the impact of social networking site addiction and mental states like envy, social anxiety and rumination on task distraction among nurses.Method: Data were collected through self-administrated questionnaires from 378 nurses in Pakistan. The study used descriptive and inferential statistics including correlation and structural equation modelling techniques to test the hypothesized model. Results:The results suggest that social networking site addiction results in task distraction which is further enhanced by envy, social anxiety and rumination among nurses. Conclusion:The study contends that social networking site addiction stimulates various stressors among nurses such as envy, social anxiety and rumination that augment its negative effects on task distraction. Implications for Nursing Management:Findings of the study can be used develop strategies to control task distraction among nurses to limit its negative impact and to enhance work performance. Awareness campaigns can help nurses and other healthcare professionals to comprehend the effects of using social media at work.

“…A study demonstrated that people with a calling seem to have a greater sense of accountability and responsibility for their jobs and organizations compared with those who do not. They may be committed to their organization because it is a specific context that is instrumental to living out their calling [14].…”

“…Three hundred fifty-one nurses from healthcare institutions were surveyed, and the result showed that perceived calling was significantly related to dedication and absorption components of nurses’ work engagement and could motivate nurses to engage in burdensome work [15]. In addition, calling is positively related to organizational commitment [14]. However, few studies focused on the influence of calling and organizational commitment on work engagement.…”

Objective Nurse shortage is a critical problem for global healthcare services. It impacts the quality of clinical care. Work engagement is the core competence of hospitals, which indicates employee's positive attitude toward organization and work. This study aimed to explore the relationships among calling, organizational commitment, and work engagement. Methods A cross-sectional study was designed, and 320 nurses from tertiary hospitals in China completed the questionnaires that included demographic information, calling scale, employee engagement scale, and organizational commitment scale. Pearson correlation was performed to test the correlations among calling, organizational commitment, and work engagement. Stepwise regression analyses were performed to explore the mediating role of organizational commitment. The bootstrap method was employed to confirm the mediating effect. Results Nurses’ work engagement score was at the medium degree, whereas calling and organizational commitment were in the medium to high level. The results revealed that calling, organizational commitment, work engagement, and each dimension were positively correlated with one another ( r = 0.145–0.922, P < 0.01). The organizational commitment plays a partially mediating effect between calling and work engagement ( β = 0.603 to 0.333, P < 0.01). Conclusions The mediation effect of organizational commitment was verified, which provided a comprehensive understanding of how calling impacted work engagement. Moreover, administrators should not only promote interventions to increase work engagement but also pay attention to calling and organizational commitment so as to improve their work engagement. Taken together, increased level of work engagement is required in the current nursing field.
