Abstract

This study is to investigate the structural relationship between nurses’ motivation and effectiveness in their occupations using Job Crafting model. In this study, it was identified that the motivation inspired by job autonomy, job complexity, positive psychological capital, and social support affect task, cognitive, and relational crafting. The factors affecting the job effectiveness of organizational commitment and job embeddedness were also identified. A structural equation model was constructed to verify the fitness of this model. The survey was conducted with 596 participating nurses working in common general hospitals and upper-level general hospitals. Data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 21.0 programs. Out of a total of 17 pathways in the hypothetical model, 16 were supported. In the final model, the identified factors affecting job autonomy were positive affectivity task crafting, and job complexity was positive affectivity cognitive crafting. Positive psychological capital affects task, cognitive and relational crafting, and also affects organizational commitment and job embeddedness. Social support has been shown to affect cognitive and relational crafting, organizational commitment, and job embeddedness. Cognitive crafting had a significant impact on task and relational crafting, but task crafting had no significant influence on organizational commitment. Organizational commitment was found to have a significant impact on job embeddedness. We found that nurses’ job crafting behavior and motivation cause them to have a significant influence on organizational commitment and job embeddedness, which are factors of job effectiveness.
