“…The association between job autonomy and subjective well-being might differ across socio-cultural contexts. Ghazzawi et al found that the association between job autonomy and subjective well-being can only be achieved through engagement in increasing structural job resources and increasing challenging job demands, as collectivistic culture decreases employees’ perceptions of work autonomy ( 44 ).…”

“…Previous literature showed that autonomy was one of the strongest predictors of individuals’ life satisfaction and happiness. It exerted direct and indirect impacts on different SWB facets in Lebanese nurses, including life satisfaction, happiness, and positive and negative emotions ( 44 ). Bastida, Neira, and Lacalle-Calderon analyzed data from the European Social Survey and found that job discretion influenced SWB, which differed between males and females ( 45 ).…”

IntroductionChinese workers suffer more from overtime than in many countries. Excessive working hours can crowd out personal time and cause work-family imbalance, affecting workers’ subjective well-being. Meanwhile, self-determination theory suggests that higher job autonomy may improve the subjective well-being of employees.MethodsData came from the 2018 China Labor-force Dynamics Survey (CLDS 2018). The analysis sample consisted of 4,007 respondents. Their mean age was 40.71 (SD = 11.68), and 52.8% were males. This study adopted four measures of subjective well-being: happiness, life satisfaction, health status, and depression. Confirmation factor analysis was employed to extract the job autonomy factor. Multiple linear regression methods were applied to examine the relationship between overtime, job autonomy, and subjective well-being.ResultsOvertime hours showed weak association with lower happiness (β = −0.002, p < 0.01), life satisfaction (β = −0.002, p < 0.01), and health status (β = −0.002, p < 0.001). Job autonomy was positively related to happiness (β = 0.093, p < 0.01), life satisfaction (β = 0.083, p < 0.01). There was a significant negative correlation between involuntary overtime and subjective well-being. Involuntary overtime might decrease the level of happiness (β = −0.187, p < 0.001), life satisfaction (β = −0.221, p < 0.001), and health status (β = −0.129, p < 0.05) and increase the depressive symptoms (β = 1.157, p < 0.05).ConclusionWhile overtime had a minimal negative effect on individual subjective well-being, involuntary overtime significantly enlarged it. Improving individual’s job autonomy is beneficial for individual subjective well-being.

“…Innovation takes a lot of time to think and work, so enough time is an important factor to promote innovation, and caregivers need time to think, explore different viewpoints and generate new ideas. However, high workload and time pressure lead to fatigue, which is not conducive to innovation (Ghazzawi et al, 2021). Nurses pointed out that limited resources are the main factor hindering innovation activities.…”

Aim: This article describes innovative experiences of nurses during clinical work and identifies the factors promoting and hindering clinical innovation.Background: The nursing staff is replete with innovations in providing medical and healthcare that can help nurses solve clinical problems. Nurses need to understand their experiences in the creation and identify the factors that facilitate or hinder clinical innovation.Methods: A semi-structured interview question framework was used to explore nurses' innovation patents, particularly the development of innovative ideas and the difficulties encountered in innovation. From 15 December 2021 to 17 February 2022, 14 nurses with innovation experiences were recruited in Shanghai, China, using a snowball sampling method. Interviews were conducted in the participants' native language, Chinese, and the interview records were analysed using Colaizzi phenomenological analysis.Results: This study has formed three main themes which are facilitators (including seven sub-themes), barriers (including two sub-themes) and results of the innovation.Position characteristics, the ability to resolve obstacles in clinical work, peer motivation and pressure urge nurses to have innovative ideas. Self-support and external support helped nurses overcome difficulties in the process of innovation. Technical translation and seeking professional assistance help realize innovative ideas for nurses. However, busy clinical work and limited resources are important barriers to nurse innovation. Conclusion:Innovation in nursing comes from clinical problems, and nurses' creativity in healthcare organizations can promote positive changes in nursing practice.Nurses have carried out many innovative activities during their work, including quite a few aspects of promotion in this process. Some factors have hindered or promoted this innovation process, which is more extensive than in previous studies. Therefore, policymakers, nurse educators and hospital managers should establish an environment conducive to innovation and provide nurses with job flexibility and resources to foster innovation.Implications for Nursing Management: This study suggests that nursing managers should take the initiative to care for nurses, pay attention to their contributions to

Background: Previous studies have shown that personality affects creativity, and physical activity and is associated with cognitive function. However, the relationship among physical activity, creativity, and personality remains unclear. This study sought to examine the relationship among personality, physical activity, and creativity to identify relevant risk factors of trait creativity. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to assess the effect of personality (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness) on physical activity, the effect of physical activity on creativity traits.Methods: A total of 296 university students were recruited for this study. The survey was administered by WeChat. The self-reported questionnaires included questions related to demographic information, creativity (from the Williams Creativity Assessment Packet), the Big Five personality traits, and physical activity. A correlation analysis was conducted and the structural equation models were constructed using SPSSAU. Results:The SEM analysis showed that openness in personality was positively correlated with physical activity. Physical activity was negatively correlated with curiosity, challenging, risk-taking, and imagination.Conclusions: Among university students, openness may be a profound positive factor affecting physical activity. Moreover, physical activity was also associated with trait creativity. Consideration should be given to assessing personality traits and physical activity to ensure the selection of more creative students.
