Leaders' Role in Shaping Followers' Well-Being: Crossover in a Sample of Nurses.

ABSTRACT: The link between well-being at work and leadership has received considerable attention. Leaders have the power to influence followers not only due to formal position, but also their positive behaviors could reinforce the followers' positive working experience. Following the crossover model (Westman, 2001), this study investigates whether leaders' work-related positive psychological states (i.e., work engagement) cross over to those of the followers (i.e., work engagement and job satisfaction) through the mediation of the latter's perception of transformational leadership. We used MPlus 8 to test two multilevel mediations in a sample of 1505 nurses nested in 143 groups led by as many leaders (87.19% of nurses and 56.50% of head nurses of the entire population). Results show that while there is not a crossover of leader work engagement to nurse work engagement, manager work engagement can cross over to nurse job satisfaction, enhancing their well-being through transformational leadership behaviors. This study adds further insights both on crossover theory and on the importance of leaders in expanding and transferring resources to followers at work. Fostering work engagement at a managerial level in the healthcare sector could be the driver to facilitate the well-being of nurses at work, address negative outcomes, and promote positive ones.

Project description:Aim(s)To examine the overall level of resilience and spiritual and mental well-being of advanced practice nurses (APN) in Singapore and to describe the associated factors of mental well-being.BackgroundResearch shows that healthcare workers' resilience and mental well-being are positively associated with spiritual well-being, which encompasses a sense of peace and meaning. Understanding APNs' spiritual and mental health, alongside resilience, may help maintain the sustainability and effectiveness of the APN workforce within the healthcare system, especially in the post-pandemic environment.MethodsThis nationwide cross-sectional online survey (May-June 2023) assessed APNs' resilience and spiritual and mental well-being. The Connor-Davidson Resilience 10 Scale, the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale, and the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-2-Factor Non-Illness Spiritual Well-Being Scale Version 4 were used. Sociodemographic and work-related information were collected to explore associations between participants' characteristics and their level of resilience and spiritual and mental well-being.ResultsEighty-two APNs and APN interns participated in the study, representing 21.4% nationwide. Participants' level of resilience, peace and meaning components of spirituality, and whether they worked in an acute care setting, were statistically significant predictors of APNs' mental well-being. APNs working in acute care hospitals had higher levels of mental well-being than other healthcare settings.ConclusionThe significant roles of the Peace and Meaning subscales of spiritual well-being underscore the importance of fostering supportive work environments. Supportive work environments can foster peace and meaning by facilitating the integration of APN roles and nurturing a sense of purpose and connection within their professional practice.Implications for nursingEffective APN integration into the healthcare system, crucial for their mental well-being, requires addressing macro-, meso- and micro-level issues. At the macro level, clear scopes of practice and legislative support can provide stability and purpose, fostering peace of mind. Meso-level strategies, such as collaborative practice models, can cultivate a sense of connection and shared meaning within teams. Micro-level strategies, including professional development, mentorship and supportive work environment, can nurture reflective practice and personal growth, further enhancing APNs' spiritual well-being through a sense of peace and meaning. These strategies collectively strengthen APNs' professional identity, job satisfaction and mental well-being, leading to better patient outcomes and a more resilient healthcare workforce.
