Abstract:
Abstract]? Objective? To investigate effects of calling and work engagement on the career success of nurses, and construct a three-variable relationship model to provide theoretical basis for nursing management of clinical nurses. Methods? From July to October 2018, a total of 320 nurses from 3 Class ⅢGrade A hospitals in Tianjin were selected by the convenience sampling method, and the Calling Scale, Gallup Q12 Employee Engagement Survey, and Career Success Scale were used to measure the three variables. Results? A total of 320 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 300 valid questionnaires were returned. The Calling Scale score of 300 nurses was (3.52±0.77), the score of Gallup Q12 Questionnaire was (2.20±0.47), and the score of Career Success Scale was (3.19±0.68). Correlation analysis showed that nurses' calling, engagement and career success were positively correlated (P＜0.01). The path analysis model of work engagement as the mediator in the relationship between calling and career success showed that calling had direct predictive effect on career success, and the path coefficient was 0.41. Work engagement mediated the relationship between calling and career success, and the path coefficient was 0.18. Conclusions? Nursing managers should take various measures to improve the level of calling and work engagement of clinical nurses in order to promote their career success.
