The relationship between organizational dehumanization and work engagement: the mediating effect of nurses' work stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Organizational dehumanization has detrimental consequences for nurses' wellbeing and leads to a stressful work environment. Moreover, it is very destructive to work engagement.

Aim

To examine the mediating role of nurses' work stress between organizational dehumanization and work engagement.

Method

A cross-sectional research design was conducted with 245 staff nurses over a one-month period. The researchers used structured equation modeling.

Results

Work engagement and organizational dehumanization levels were both moderate. In addition, the degree of job stress among the nurses was moderate, too. The results of the structural equation modeling showed that the association between organizational dehumanization and job engagement is partially mediated
