Abstract:
Purpose:To identify the relationship between emotional intelligence, occupational well-being, and work engagement among Chinese clinical nurses.
Methods:This cross-sectional study is based on survey responses provided by 1744 registered nurses from a Chinese hospital. The survey utilized emotional intelligence, occupational well-being, and work engagement scales.
Results:A questionnaire was distributed to nurses, and among them, 1744 filled it in. Work engagement was related to demographic characteristics. The nurses' work engagement score was 28.99±5.46. Work engagement was positively correlated with emotional intelligence (r=.94, p < .01) and occupational well-being (r=.96, p < .01).
Conclusions:The current work engagement of nurses in China is at a medium level. It is influenced by emotional intelligence and occupational well-being.
