Overview
The present study focuses on prosocial job crafting as a novel strategy to reduce burnout and foster well-being among nurse professionals. Specifically, we will examine whether prosocial job crafting enhances individual and team-level well-being by increasing own and others' resources.
Description
Below, we provide more information on the study design, study procedure, data collection, data management, and data analysis.
Study Design:
Type: Prospective, longitudinal, observational diary study. Duration: 10 workdays of daily surveys with a baseline survey at the start (Day 0).
Setting: Online survey tool (Castor), accessible via smartphones.
Study Procedure:
Day 0 - Baseline Survey: Collects demographic data and job-related information.
Days 1-10 - Daily Surveys:
Workday Verification: Confirmation of work on that day.
In addition to the outcomes listed under primary and secondary outcome measures, daily surveys will include measures of:
Prosocial Job Crafting: 12 items adapted to measure crafting behaviors to benefit other team members, using the Prosocial Job Crafting Measure (PSJCM).
Psychological Capital: 12 items measuring hope, self-efficacy, optimism, and resilience, using a shortened version of the Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ).
Day 11 - Post-Study Survey: Summary of results and feedback opportunity.
Data Collection:
Survey Platform: Mobile-friendly (Castor). Questionnaire Format: Self-report measures adapted for daily context.
Data Management:
Anonymity: Participants are assigned anonymous codes for data matching. Confidentiality: Data is securely stored with access only for researchers on the project.
Statistical Analysis:
Multilevel modeling will be used to analyze the nested nature of daily data and relationships between job crafting, resource exchange, and work outcomes.
Eligibility
Eligibility Criteria:
- Employees (nurse professionals) working in a team-based work environment (hospital setting).
- Participants must be able to complete daily surveys in the designated timeframe (end of each workday).
Exclusion Criteria:
