摘要

摘要本研究以资源守恒理论为基础,考察社工有意义工作与工作投入之间的曲线关系。223名社会工作者的数据显示,当心理资本较低时,有意义的工作与工作投入之间的关系呈u型曲线。相反,当心理资本高时,这一关系呈现倒u型曲线。我们的研究在以下几个方面对文献做出了重大贡献。首先,这是第一篇论文,它提供了一个建立的基础,以经验验证有意义的工作的瞬间和变化的性质。其次,我们进一步探讨了如何通过个体心理资本的人口统计学变量来解决有意义工作的波动性问题。最后,我们的研究结果提供了管理干预措施,支持企业在与广泛的工作领域和组织相关的背景下推进对心理过程的理解。练习要点:有意义的工作能提高工作投入。非营利组织(NPOs)应该提供一个安全的空间,让社会工作者可以分享他们的胜利、观点和挫折。非营利组织应该为员工提供充分的支持,确保他们能够很好地适应新的社会工作环境。鉴于PsyCap的延展性,非营利组织可以通过培训的形式进行干预,增强社工的希望感、效能感、适应力和乐观感。心理帽对有意义工作与工作投入关系的曲线效应表明,非营利组织也应该设计途径,不断吸引心理帽高的社会工作者。

What Makes Social Work Meaningful? Evidence for a Curvilinear Relationship of Meaningful Work on Work Engagement with Psychological Capital as the Moderator
ABSTRACT Drawing on the conservation of resources theory, this study examines the curvilinear relationship between social workers’ meaningful work and work engagement. Data gathered from 223 social workers reveal that the relationship between meaningful work and work engagement showed a U-shaped curve when psychological capital is low. In contrast, this relationship showed an inverted U-shaped curve when psychological capital is high. Our study makes significant contributions to the literature in the following ways. First and foremost, this is the first paper that provides an established base to validate the momentary and changing nature of meaningful work empirically. Second, we further addressed how the fluctuating nature of meaningful work can be addressed through individuals’ demographic variables of psychological capital. Finally, our results provide managerial interventions that support businesses in advancing the understanding of psychological processes in contexts related to the broad area of work and in organizations. PRACTICE POINTS Meaningful work enhances work engagement. Nonprofit organizations (NPOs) should provide a safe space where social workers can share their victories, perspectives, and frustrations. NPOs should provide ample support to employees and ensure they fit well into the new social work environment. Given the malleable characteristics of PsyCap, NPOs can offer interventions in the form of training to increase social workers’ sense of hope, efficacy, resilience and optimism. The curvilinear effect of PsyCap on the relationship between meaningful work and work engagement shows that NPOs should also design pathways to engage social workers with high PsyCap constantly.
