Abstract:
Objective:To explore the chain mediating role of professional identity and positive coping between leadership empowerment and work engagement of clinical research nurses (CRNs) .Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 250 CRNs working in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from August to September 2024 for the study. The survey was conducted with the General Information Questionnaire, Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, Empowering Leadership Behavior Scale, Professional Identification Scale for Nurse, and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire. The chain mediating effects were tested using Model 6 of the SPSS PROCESS program.Results:A total of 250 questionnaires were distributed, 236 questionnaires were recovered, and 223 valid questionnaires were recovered after excluding the regularly answered questionnaires, with an effective recovery rate of 89.20% (223/250). Mediating effect analysis revealed that leadership empowerment directly and positively predicted work engagement of CRNs, with a direct effect value of 0.194, accounting for 67.60% of the total effect. Leadership empowerment also had an impact on work engagement of CRNs through three mediating paths. Mediating path 1: leadership empowerment→professional identity→ work engagement, with an effect value of 0.036, accounting for 12.54% of the total effect. Mediating path 2: leadership empowerment → positive coping → work engagement, with an effect value of 0.049, accounting for 17.07% of the total effect. Mediating path 3: leadership empowerment → professional identity → positive coping → work engagement, with an effect value of 0.008, accounting for 2.79% of the total effect. The total mediating effect was 0.093, accounting for 32.40% of the total effect.Conclusions:Leadership empowerment can not only directly affect work engagement of CRNs, but also indirectly affect it through the mediating role of professional identity and positive coping.
