“…Moreover, core self-evaluation was rarely considered as a whole in these studies. The majority of the literature has studied the four traits of core self-evaluation separately (Pérez-Fuentes et al, 2018;Chen et al, 2019).…”

In recent years, university students’ employment has become an increasingly prominent problem worldwide. Improving the job search clarity of students is a great way to boost job-hunting success. Proactive personality may predict job search clarity through the mediating effects of core self-evaluation and career exploration. However, few studies have explored this relationship and the mediating roles of core self-evaluation and career exploration. To identify the relationship between a proactive personality and job search clarity and the mediating roles of core self-evaluation and career exploration, a cross-sectional survey was conducted. A total of 495 students majoring in nursing completed the questionnaire which consisted of the proactive personality scale, core self-evaluation scale, career exploration survey, and job search clarity scale. Correlation analyses and mediation analyses were conducted using SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 24.0 respectively. This study showed that students higher on the proactive personality scale were more likely to perform better on job search clarity. Core self-evaluation and career exploration have fully mediating effects on the relationship between a proactive personality and job search clarity. Therefore, interventions concentrated on cultivating proactive personality, improving core self-evaluation, and strengthening career exploration would be necessary for increasing job search clarity.

Background: The work of health professionals is characterized by a high demand for psychological and emotional resources and high levels of stress. Therefore, the promotion of commitment and job well-being through strategies such as increased mindfulness, is important among nursing workers. Although mindfulness has shown positive effects in the health field, few studies have explored the mechanisms and processes underlying these results. We investigated the mediating role of empathy (cognitive/affective) in the effect of mindfulness on the dimensions of engagement in nursing professionals. Methods: Sample was comprised of 1268 Spanish nurses between 22 and 62 years old, that completed the Utrecht Labor Engagement Scale and the adapted versions of Mindful Attention Awareness Scale and Basic Empathy Scale. The relationship between variables to be included in the regression analyses, bivariate correlations were carried out, and the descriptive statistics of these variables were also found. To estimate the mediation model was used, in this case for multiple mediation effects. Results: Mindfulness is found to affect the Vigor and Dedication factors of engagement through cognitive empathy. While for the Absorption factor, the affective component of empathy also exerts a mediating role, although weaker than cognitive empathy. Cognitive empathy, as an individual factor, was shown to have a mediating effect between mindfulness and the factors of engagement in healthcare workers.

“…Brown () stated that positive beliefs of self‐efficacy are a key modifiable cognition, which could protect an individual from the effects of WS. When individuals have positive beliefs of personal self‐efficacy, they tend to be more adaptable to handling workplace stressors (Bandura, ), experience less workplace burnout (Molero, Perez‐Fentes, & Gazquez, ; Yao et al, ), have fewer mental health problems (Laschinger et al, ) and are more engaged in their jobs (Perez‐Fuentes et al, ). The empirical studies revealed that stressors relating to work and workloads significantly influenced nurses' self‐efficacy (Molero et al, ).…”

Aims To establish a model and identify structural relationships between Chinese nurses' perceived social support, self‐efficacy, work stress and burnout. Background The prevalence of burnout among nurses tends to be high worldwide. A better understanding of relationships between the study variables can help hospital managers apply effective programmes to reduce burnout. However, no studies have identified the structural relationships between these variables in one model, simultaneously. Methods We conducted a cross‐sectional survey to complete questionnaires from 444 nurses working in three Chinese general tertiary hospitals. The proposed model was examined by structural equation modelling. Results The proposed model was partially supported by empirical data. The total effect of work stress on burnout was large. Both work stress and the perceived social support moderately and directly affected burnout. Work stress also indirectly affected burnout through perceived social support. Work stress directly influenced perceived social support and self‐efficacy. Perceived social support directly affected self‐efficacy. However, self‐efficacy did not directly influence burnout. Conclusions This study validated a model and identified a deep understanding of structural relationships between the selected variables among Chinese nurses. Implications for Nursing Management Apart from reducing work stressors, hospital managers should utilize more social support strategies when designing intervention programmes to reduce burnout.
