Effects of Clinical Nurses? Job Crafting on Organizational Effectiveness Based on Job Demands-Resource Model br

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the mediating effects of clinical nurses' job crafting on organizational effectiveness based on the job demands-resources model proposed by Bakker and Demerouti (2017). Methods: The participants consisted of 393 nurses working in nursing units of a tertiary general hospital located in Cheongju region. The data, collected using questionnaire from August 9 to August 20, 2021, were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 27.0. Results: The goodness-of-fit (GoF) test results on the modified model (chi 2 = 2.7, GFI = .94, SRMR = .03, RMSEA = .06, NFI = .92, CFI = .94, TLI = .92, AGFI = .90), indicated that the GoF index satisfied the recommended level. Re-garding the effects of each variable on organizational effectiveness, job crafting showed statistically significant direct (beta = .48, p < .001), indirect (beta = .23, p < .001), and total effects (beta = .71, p < .001). Burnout showed statistically significant direct effect (beta = - .17, p < .001). Work engagement showed statistically significant direct (beta = .41, p < .001) and total effects (beta = .41, p < .001). The factors explaining or-ganizational effectiveness were job crafting, burnout, and work engagement, which had an explanatory power of 76.7%. Conclusion: Nurs-es' job crafting is an important mediating factor for enhancing the organizational effectiveness of nursing organizations. Hospitals should develop job-crafting success cases and related education and training programs as a strategy for enhancing the job crafting of nurses and, consequently organizational effectiveness.
