The mediating effect of work-family enrichment between family supportive supervisor behavior and nurses' career resilience

Abstract

Objective To examine the mediating role of work-family enrichment between family supportive supervisor behavior and nurses' career resilience. Methods Totally 727 nurses selected by cluster-random-sampling were investigated by the family supportive supervisor behaviors scale(FSSBS), the wok-family enrichment scale(WFES) and the career resilience scale(CRS). Results The scores of family supportive supervisor behavior, work to family enrichment, family to work enrichment and career resilience were (3.74±0.68), (3.36±0.77), (3.59±0.72) and (3.41±0.84) respectively. The family supportive supervisor behavior(r=0.31, P<0.01), work to family enrichment(r=0.32, P<0.01) and family to wok enrichment(r=0.30, P<0.01) were positively related to career resilience. The family supportive supervisor behavior positively influenced career resilience(P<0.01). Work-family enrichment partially mediated the association between family supportive supervisor behavior and career resilience, accounted for 37.7% of the total effect. Conclusion Health organizations should try to build family supportive organizational climate and improve nurses' level of work-family enrichment and career resilience, then promote job performance and job satisfaction.
