[Empowerment, stress vulnerability and burnout among Portuguese nursing staff].

However, structural empowerment is an organizational process that can prevent and decrease burnout among nurses.

Structural empowerment and burnout among Portuguese nursing staff: An explicative model.

Aims: Kanter's structural empowerment model was used to assess the influence of access to opportunities, resources, information and support on core burnout through global empowerment in a nursing sample in Portugal.

Background: The empowerment experience increases the levels of nursing professionals' satisfaction and performance preventing the emergence of burnout. However, the relationship between structural empowerment and burnout has been scarcely studied in Portugal.

Work engagement, social support, and job satisfaction in Portuguese nursing staff: A winning combination.

Background: Job Demands-Resources model assumes the mediator role of work engagement between social support (job resource) and job satisfaction (organizational result). However, recent studies suggest that social support can be considered as a moderator variable in the relationship between engagement and job satisfaction in nursing staff.

Aim: The aim of this study is to analyze the moderator role of social support, from supervisor and from co-workers, in the relationship between work engagement and job satisfaction in a Portuguese nursing sample.
