“…can have a favourable impact on well-being and performance through a change in job characteristics, also among nurses (Gordon et al, 2017;Van Wingerden et al, 2016). Furthermore, the present study suggests that job crafting in the form of mobilizing job resources, when combined with high levels of enthusiasm and energy, can reduce the level of hindrance job demands.…”

“…Highly engaged professionals may follow job crafting training in which they learn to identify the aspects of work they want to change proactively. Previous research has shown that job crafting interventions can have a favourable impact on well‐being and performance through a change in job characteristics, also among nurses (Gordon et al., ; Van Wingerden et al., ). Furthermore, the present study suggests that job crafting in the form of mobilizing job resources, when combined with high levels of enthusiasm and energy, can reduce the level of hindrance job demands.…”

“…JC improves the fit between the person and the job and is positively related to work engagement, job satisfaction, meaningfulness, and job performance (Demerouti, ; Rudolph et al, ). Evidence from recent intervention studies shows that job crafters increase their affective well‐being and job performance (Gordon et al, ; van den Heuvel et al, ; van Wingerden, Bakker, & Derks, ; van Wingerden, Derks, & Bakker, ). When employees craft their jobs, they make changes in tasks or relationships, build new job resources, and reduce their hindering demands (van den Heuvel et al, ).…”

The objective of this study was to test the relationship between empowering leadership and job crafting and to examine the moderating role of optimism as a personal resource. We hypothesized that the association between empowering leadership and job crafting would be stronger for employees with high (vs. low) levels of optimism. A total of 331 Norwegian workers from a variety of occupations participated in our study. Results of structural equation modelling analysis generally supported our hypotheses. Empowering leadership was positively related to 3 of the 4 job crafting strategies investigated (increasing structural job resources, increasing social job resources, and increasing challenging job demands; but not reducing hindrance job demands). Moreover, as hypothesized, optimism strengthened the empowering leadership-job crafting relationship for increasing structural resources and increasing challenging demands. The results suggest that empowering leadership is an important antecedent of job crafting strategies, except for reducing hindrance demands. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Aim To examine seven determinants of Registered Nurses’ aspirations to become a manager in four Norwegian public hospitals. Background Research evidence shows that nurses submit few applications to management positions. Understanding the determinants that influence nurses’ aspirations to become managers can provide healthcare organizations with important knowledge on the drivers and barriers in recruitment and on the development of nurse managers. Design This study adopted a cross‐sectional web‐based survey design. Method Logistic regression analysis based on 2,630 Registered Nurses’ responses to a self‐completion survey in a Norwegian regional health authority collected during October 2014. The overall response rate was 40%. Results Findings indicate that men and younger nurses are most likely to report an aspiration in management. The social support of an immediate supervisor and institutional stress are positively associated with an aspiration to become a manager; however, high experienced workloads have the opposite effect. Conclusion Healthcare organizations should work strategically to develop a human resource management policy that ensures that the organization develops the nurse managers it needs now and in the future. Impact This study addresses the challenge of having enough qualified nurse managers. The main findings indicate that job demands can have both a negative and positive impact on nurses’ aspirations to become a manager. Healthcare organizations should, however, reduce demands and consider increasing job resources. The results should have an impact on the human resource department, managers, and other key personnel in healthcare organizations.
