Abstract:
Objective:To explore the mediating role of mindfulness in part-time nursing faculty between intrinsic motivation and work engagement.Methods:A total of 376 part-time nursing faculty were investigated with Work Preference Inventory, Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire-Short Form and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. SPSS 25.0 statistical software was used to perform t test on the data. Results:The intrinsic motivation of part-time nursing faculty positively predicted work engagement ( β=0.74, P<0.001). The positive predictive effect of intrinsic motivation on job engagement was weaker than before ( β=0.55, P<0.001). Mindfulness as an intermediary variable reduced the positive predictive effect of intrinsic motivation on work engagement from 0.979 to 0.504. The indirect effect of intrinsic motivation on work engagement through mindfulness was significant (path coefficient=0.50, P<0.001), and the intermediary effect accounted for 48.51% of the total effect. Conclusion:Mindfulness plays an intermediary role between intrinsic motivation and work engagement of part-time nursing faculty. Paying attention to the mindfulness level of part-time nursing faculty plays a positive role in improving their work engagement level.
