THE THEORETICAL IMPLICATIONS OF JOB DEMANDS– RESOURCES MODEL: A RESEARCH STUDY ON THE RELATIONS OF JOB DEMANDS, SUPERVISOR SUPPORT AND JOB AUTONOMY WITH WORK ENGAGEMENT
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine how job demands (work overload, role conflict, role ambiguity, job insecurity) and job resources (supervisor support and job autonomy) are related to work engagement of nurses working in Turkish Health Organizations. The findings revealed that work overload had a negative relationship with vigor and dedication and job insecurity had significant negative relationships with vigor, dedication, and absorption. It was determined that supervisor support had significant large effect relationships with vigor, dedication, and UWES total. Job autonomy had medium effect relationships with vigour, dedication and UWES total, role ambiguity showed a medium effect relationship with vigor, dedication, and UWES total. Job insecurity and role ambiguity displayed negative relationships with vigor, dedication, and absorption. Based on the findings, the suggestions of the study were supported and it was concluded that perceived job demands as measured with work overload, role ambiguity, role conflict, and job insecurity and job resources as measured with supervisor support and job autonomy had significant relationships with work engagement of nurses.
