ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the current situation of job involvement of nurses in military hospitals in Henan Province and analyze the influencing factors, so as to provide reference for improving the level of job involvement of military nurses. Methods: In February 2022, the employed nurses of 4 military hospitals in Henan Province were investigated by convenient sampling method. A total of 663 questionnaires were collected, including 632 valid questionnaires, with an effective recovery rate of 95.32%. The self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the basic information of nurses, the Job Involvement Scale was used to investigate the job involvement of nurses, the Emotional Labor Scale for Nurses was used to investigate nurses' emotions, and the Work-Family Conflict Scale was used to investigate the work-family conflict of nurses. Independent sample t-test and univariate analysis of variance were used to compare the job involvement of military employed nurses with different demographic characteristics, Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between emotional labor, work-family conflict and job involvement, and hierarchical regression analysis was used to explore the impact of relevant variables on the job involvement of military employed nurses. Results: The total average score of job involvement of military employed nurses was (3.68±1.13), and the scores of vitality, dedication and focus were (3.64±1.15), (3.74±1.25) and (3.67±1.21) respectively. The total score of emotional labor of nurses was 33-80 (62.95±8.12), with an average score of (3.93±0.51). The total score of work-family conflict was 18-94 (55.16±13.53), with an average score of (3.06±0.75). Professional emotional regulation, patient-centered emotional inhibition and standardized emotional play were positively related to the job involvement (r=0.46, 0.41, 0.22, P<0.01). Time-based conflict, stress-based conflict and behavior-based conflict had negative correlation with the job involvement (r=-0.12, -0.23, -0.20, P<0.01). In hierarchical regression analysis, after controlling demographic variables, emotional labor and work-family conflict accounted for 17.2% and 4.2% of the variation of job involvement. Conclusion: The job involvement of military employed nurses tends to be at a moderate level. Emotional labor and work-family conflict can significantly affect their job involvement.

Resumen El objetivo de este estudio fue establecer la validez discriminante, predictiva e incremental de la Escala de Comportamientos Laborales Proactivos de Belschak y Den Hartog. Se realizó un estudio empírico-instrumental con una muestra no probabilística (510 trabajadores, 53 por ciento varones). Análisis de ecuaciones estructurales exploratorios (ESEM) mostraron saturaciones cruzadas inferiores a .30 y un adecuado ajuste de un modelo hexafactorial oblicuo. Los valores de varianza media extraída, de su raíz cuadrada y de la proporción heterorrasgo-monorrasgo proporcionaron evidencia de validez discriminante. Análisis de regresión con SEM confirmaron la contribución significativa de los comportamientos proactivos en la explicación de la satisfacción y de la implicación en el trabajo. Del mismo modo, la personalidad proactiva mostró ser un antecedente significativo de los comportamientos proactivos. Los resultados brindan evidencia favorable a la validez del instrumento analizado.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to establish the discriminant, predictive and incremental validity of Belschak & Den Hartog´s Proactive Work Behaviors Scale. An empirical-instrumental study was carried out with a non-probabilistic sample (510 workers, 53 por ciento males). Analysis of exploratory structural equations (ESEM) showed cross-saturations lower than .30 and an adequate adjustment of an oblique hexa-factorial model. The values of average variance extracted, of its square root and of the heterotrait-monotrait ratio provided evidence of discriminant validity. SEM regression analysis confi rmed the signifi cant contribution of proactive behaviors in the explanation of job satisfaction and job involvement. Proactive personality showed itself to be a signifi cant predictor of proactive behaviors. These results obtained provide favorable evidence for the validity of the instrument analyzed.

Objective To examine the impact of person-organization fit ( P-O fit) on turnover intention of medical staff and examine the mediating role of job involvement between P-O fit and turnover intention of medical staff.Methods The basic research hypothesis was obtained by combing the relationship among three variables of P-O fit, job involvement and turnover intention of medical staff. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 408 medical staff at 9 general public hospitals in the Pearl River Delta from July to August 2018. The contents of survey were as follows: the match between such factors as medical staff values, culture, personal ability and hospital, as well as turnover intention and job involvement of medical staff.The structural equation model was constructed by Amos 20.0, and the relationship between variables was analyzed.Results The path coefficients between the three variables were 0.436(P<0.001),-0.281 (P<0.05),-0.544(P<0.001), respectively.The total effect value and intermediate effect value were-0.470,- 0.082, respectively. P-O fit was positively related to job involvement. P-O fit and job involvement were negatively related to turnover intention of medical staff.Job involvement partially mediated the relationship between P-O fit and turnover intention. Conclusions In order to reduce the turnover intention of medical staff, hospitals must pay attention to the match of values, culture and personal ability between medical staff and hospitals, establish a match evaluation mechanism between medical staff and hospitals, create good working conditions and atmosphere for medical staff, and encourage medical staff to work harder.
ABSTRACT
El objetivo de este estudio fue establecer la validez discriminante, predictiva e incremental de la pasión por el trabajo respecto a los constructos de flow, implicación y satisfacción laboral, respectivamente. Se realizó un estudio empírico-instrumental con una muestra no probabilística (510 trabajadores, 54% mujeres). Análisis de ecuaciones estructurales exploratorios (ESEM) mostraron saturaciones cruzadas inferiores a .30 y un adecuado ajuste de un modelo hepta-factorial oblicuo (GFI = 0,92, CFI = 0,90, TLI = .91, RMSEA = 0,04). Los valores de varianza media extraída, de su raíz cuadrada y de la proporción heterorasgo-monorasgo indicaron capacidad de discriminación entre los constructos (AVE > 0,50; âAVE < r; HTMT < 0,90). Análisis de regresión múltiple jerárquica confirmaron la contribución significativa de la pasión en la explicación de la satisfacción (pasión armoniosa: ß= .49, t= 10.96, p = 0,000; pasión obsesiva: ß= 0,15, t = 3,82, p = 0,000; F(6, 503) = 91,87, p = 0,000; R2 = 0,579). Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que la pasión por el trabajo es un constructo teórica y empíricamente distinguible, capaz de explicar actitudes organizacionalmente relevantes....(AU)
The aim of this study was to establish the discriminant, predictive and incremental validity of work passion regarding flow, job involvement and job satisfaction, respectively. An empirical-instrumental study was performed with a non-probabilistic sample (510 workers, 54% female). Exploratory structural equation modelling (ESEM) showed cross-saturation less than .30 and an adequate adjustment of an oblique hepta-factorial model (GFI = 0.92, CFI = 0.90, TLI = 0.91, RMSEA = 0.04). The average variance extracted, its square root and heterotrait-monotrait ratio (AVE > 0.50; âAVE < r; HTMT < 0.90) indicated discrimination capacity among all the constructs. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis confirmed the significant contribution of passion in explaining satisfaction (harmonious passion: ß = 0.49, t = 10.96, p = 0.000; obsessive passion: ß = 0.15, t = 3.82, p = 0.000; F(6.503) = 91.87, p = 0.000; R2 = 0.579). These results demonstrated work passion is a theoretically and empirically different construct, capable of explaining relevant organizational attitudes....(AU)

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the influencing factors on turnover intention of nurses in long-term care hospitals. METHODS: Data were collected from 210 nurses in 11 long-term care hospitals in B city. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and Stepwise multiple regression. RESULTS: Turnover intention was significantly correlated with emotional labor(r=.35, p<.001) and job involvement (r=-.38, p<.001). In a multiple regression, emotional labor (beta=.31, p<.001), age (beta=-.27, p<.001), job satisfaction (beta=.24, p<.001), job involvement (beta=-.23, p<.001), and number of patients assigned(beta=.14, p=.009) were associated with turnover intention. These factors attributed to 41.2% of the total variance in turnover intention. CONCLUSION: Considering the results of this study, proactive educational and/or human resource management interventions need to be developed especially for those younger nurses in order to reduce emotional labor as well as to promote job satisfaction and job involvement of nurses in long-term care hospitals.

PURPOSE: This study was performed to identify the effects of self-leadership and job involvement on clinical competence in general hospital nurses. METHODS: The participants in this study were 443 staff nurses working in general hospitals and having more than 6 months of nursing experience. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires. RESULTS: There were significant positive correlations between nurses' self-leadership and job involvement, and between nurses' self-leadership and clinical competence. In the multiple regression analysis, clinical career, type of department and self-leadership were significant predictors in explaining nurses' clinical competence and accounted for 28% of the variance in nurses' clinical competence. CONCLUSION: Study findings suggest that nurses' self-leadership is defined as having an important influence on nurses' clinical competence. In order to strengthen nurses' clinical competence, there is a need to develop education programs to increase nurses' self-leadership.

The purpose of this study was to compare differences in role conflict, self efficacy, job satisfaction, and job involvement perceived by school nutrition teachers and dietitians. A total of 335 female school nutrition teachers and dietitians from Incheon area were surveyed by a self-report questionnaire in November 2010. Collected data were processed using SPSS 15.0. The reliability of the questionnaire was tested and differences between the two groups were analyzed using the Student's t-test, the chi-square test, and a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The job satisfaction level of nutrition teachers was higher than that of dietitians. The effect of role conflict and job satisfaction for nutrition teachers and dietitians was different according to age. In addition, self-efficacy, job satisfaction, and job involvement of nutrition teachers and dietitians were influenced by their annual salaries. The frequency of meals served also affected role conflict, job satisfaction, and job involvement of the nutrition teachers and dietitians, and the effect of job involvement by the nutrition teachers and dietitians was different according to meal service type. Therefore, it is necessary to establish strategies for resolving role conflicts among school foodservice specialists and improve their self-efficacy for enhancing consumer's satisfaction with the general quality of school food service. These efforts may contribute to job satisfaction and job involvement of food service specialists and ultimately to the productivity of food service and the establishment of food service specialist roles.

PURPOSE: This study investigated the effect of transformational leadership and individual characteristics on nurses' job involvement. METHOD: The sample for this study consisted of 594 nurses from 8 large Korean hospitals. The factor analysis was drawn from the Cronbach's alpha analysis, the Pearson correlation analysis, the multiple regression analysis, and the hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Result: This study found that; (1) charisma dimension of transformational leadership has positive influence on job involvement; but intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration did not showed significant effects on job involvement (2) nurse individual characteristics (age, marital status, educational level, tenure, position) moderated the effect of transformational leadership on job involvement. Conclusion : Therefore, to improve job involvement nurses are required to apply the charisma dimension of transformational leadership in hospital organization.
