The effect of job autonomy on job engagement in health care workers:the chain mediating role of in-terpersonal facilitation and occupational calling
Objective To explore the chain mediating effect of interpersonal promotion and calling on work autonomy and work engagement of medical staff.Methods From June to July 2023,a total of 310 medical staff from 5 tertiary public hos-pitals in Hangzhou were selected by convenience sampling.The questionnaire included work autonomy scale,interpersonal promo-tion scale,calling scale and work engagement scale for accurate and effective investigation,and data analysis was conducted using SPSS2 6.0 and AMOS 26.0.Results A total of 310 questionnaires were distributed and 257 were recovered with a recovery rate of 82.90%.There were statistically significant differences in work engagement among medical staff with different ages,marital status,working time,titles and positions(all P<0.05).Calling partially mediated the effect of work autonomy on work engage-ment(95%CI[0.090,0.291],P<0.001),and interpersonal promotion and calling played a partially chain mediating role be-tween work autonomy and work engagement(95%CI[0.016,0.103],P<0.001).Conclusion Interpersonal promotion and calling play a partially chain mediating role between work autonomy and work engagement of medical staff.Work autonomy of medical staff not only has an indirect effect on work engagement through the mediating role of calling,but also enhances calling through interpersonal promotion and ultimately affects work engagement.
