Aim: To investigate the relationship between job crafting and work engagement among hospital nurses.
Background: Job crafting is a relatively advanced job redesign concept, and few studies have investigated it among nurses.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. A total of 636 nurses were recruited from one hospital in Saudi Arabia. Of them, 608 (95.6%) completed self-administered, online questionnaires. The questionnaire assessed participants' socio-demographic data, job crafting and work engagement. Structured equation modelling (SEM) was used to examine the association between job crafting and work engagement.
Results: Data from 549 nurses were analysed. Most of the participants (85.1%) were females, and their mean scores of job crafting and work engagement were 3.54 ± 0.5 and 4.77 ± 1.1, respectively. The SEM revealed that job crafting accounted for 57% of the variance of work engagement.
Conclusions: Job crafting is a significant determinant of nurses' work engagement.
Implications For Nursing Management: Supporting staff nurses to employ job crafting behaviours would positively improve their work engagement. This may include, but is not limited to, helping nurses to bargain a significance in their labour, reforming the work pattern in a manner that lines up with organisational objectives and employing an innovative managerial style.
