Abstract

Background

The relationship between empowering leadership, intrinsic motivation, and thriving at work among emergency department nurses is unclear. Thriving at work can raise employees’ job satisfaction and lower their tendency to quit. High workloads and unpleasant workplace experiences may result in emergency department nurses thriving less at work. It has been demonstrated that intrinsic motivation and empowering leadership are both linked to thriving at work in employees.

Aim

To investigate the relationship between empowering leadership and thriving at work among emergency department nurses, as well as the mediating function of intrinsic motivation in this relationship.

Methods

The 337 emergency department nurses were polled using general information questionnaire, Empowering Leadership Scale, Intrinsic Motivation Scale, and Thriving at Work Scale. Structural equation modeling was used for data analysis.

Results

Positive relationships existed between thriving at work and empowering leadership and intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation was a mediator of the relationship between empowering leadership and thriving at work.

Conclusions

Intrinsic motivation is one mechanism by which empowering leadership can influence emergency department nurses thriving at work. Nurse managers should adopt an empowering leadership style and take steps to activate the intrinsic motivation of emergency department nurses, thereby increasing nurses’ ability to thrive at work.

急诊科护士的内在动力：增强领导力与工作欣欣向荣之间的桥梁

背景在急诊科护士中，授权型领导、内在激励和工作欣欣向荣之间的关系尚不明确。在工作中茁壮成长可以提高员工的工作满意度，降低他们辞职的倾向。高工作量和不愉快的工作经历可能会导致急诊科护士的工作积极性降低。目的探讨授权型领导与急诊科护士工作欣欣向荣之间的关系，以及内在动机在这一关系中的中介作用。方法使用一般信息问卷、授权型领导量表、内在动机量表和工作欣欣向荣量表对 337 名急诊科护士进行调查。结果工作中的欣欣向荣与授权领导和内在动机之间存在正相关。结论内在动机是授权型领导影响急诊科护士工作欣欣向荣的一种机制。护士长应采用授权式领导风格，并采取措施激活急诊科护士的内在动机，从而提高护士的工作能力。
