Purpose
This study was done to identify mediating effects of calling and role breadth self-efficacy in the relationship between supportive supervision and job crafting for nurses in general hospitals.
Methods
A descriptive correlational design was used. Participants were 128 nurses in general hospitals. Measurements included the Supportive Supervision Scale, the Job Crafting Scale, the Korean version of the Calling and Vocation Questionnaire, and the Role Breadth Self-efficacy Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients analysis, and multiple regression analysis with Hayes's method for mediation.
Results
Supportive supervision showed a significant positive correlation with calling (r=.51, p<.001) and role breadth self-efficacy (r=.40, p<.001). Job crafting was also significantly correlated with supportive supervision (r=.51, p<.001), calling (r=.42, p<.001), and role breadth self-efficacy (r=.38, p<.001). Furthermore, calling (β=.15, p=.013) and role breadth self-efficacy (β=.15, p=.011) showed a mediation effect on the relationship between supportive supervision and job crafting.
Conclusion
The impact of supportive supervision on job crafting in general hospital nurses was mediated by calling and role breadth self-efficacy. This result suggests that strategies for enhancing supportive supervision, calling and role breadth self-efficacy of nurses in general hospitals should be considered when developing programs for improving nurses’ job crafting.
