ABSTRACT
Objective The present study aimed to examine the path relationship and mechanism of action of psychologi-cal capital between organization support and work engagement among medical workers,and then to propose management meas-ures about promoting work engagement of medical workers for hospitals. Methods 800 medical workers from Guangxi and Chongqing were randomly investigated with questionnaires including scales of psychological capital, organization support and work engagement. And the researcher did data analysis by SPSS 19. 0 and AMOS 17. 0. Results Pearson analysis showed that they were all significant positive correlations between organization support and psychological capital(r=0. 46,P<0. 01),organ-ization support and work engagement(r=0. 63,P<0. 01),psychological capital and work engagement(r=0. 60,P<0. 01). Path analysis showed that medical workers' psychological capital predicted their work engagement (β=0. 61,P<0. 01),and or-ganization support predicted their psychological capital(β=0. 19,P<0. 01) and work engagement (β=0. 30,P<0. 01) . Mean-while,organization support had indirect effect on work engagement through psychological capital among medical workers,and the indirect effect was 0. 12,accounting for 27. 87% of the total effect. Conclusion For medical workers,organization support had a direct effect on work engagement,and a indirect effect on work engagement through psychological capital. Therefore,en-hancing work engagement of medical workers not only need to increase organizations' support such as hospitals,but also pay more attention to develop medical workers' psychological capital.
