“…While workplace bullying is prevalent in the nursing profession globally, the high power distance and collectivist culture in Korea make individuals particularly vulnerable to such behaviors (Karatuna et al, 2020). Meanwhile, the entry of Generation Z (born between the mid-1990s and the early 2000s) into the workforce, who are less tolerant of perceived injustices and lack of recognition, is causing tension (Hampton and Welsh, 2019;Lee et al, 2023). This poses an additional challenge for hospitals striving to retain young, proactive nurses.…”

PurposeResearch has suggested that employees interpret high-performance work systems (HPWSs) as targeting two distinct organizational objectives: enhancing performance and promoting employee well-being. These attributions often exert divergent effects on employee attitudes. Thus, this study aims to investigate this dynamic within the context of the Korean nursing occupation, clarifying how the HPWS can simultaneously evoke dual attributions: human resource (HR) well-being and HR performance attributions. Additionally, the authors examine the contrasting effects of these attributions and identify a moderating variable that could reconcile them. Drawing on the psychological experience of status theory, the authors conceptualize and test the moderating effect of employees' self-perceived status on the relationship between HR performance attribution and affective commitment.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 475 nurses in 82 work units in Korean hospitals. Hypotheses were tested in a multilevel moderated mediation model.FindingsThe findings revealed that an HPWS elicits HR well-being and HR performance attributions. While HR well-being attribution was positively associated with affective commitment, HR performance attribution was positively related to affective commitment when employees' self-perceived status was high. Moreover, the HPWS demonstrated an indirect relationship with affective commitment via increasing HR performance attribution when self-perceived status was high.Originality/valueAlthough the personal meaning of HR attributions differs depending on the perceiver’s situation, this aspect has received little attention in the field of research. This study advances the understanding of HR attributions derived from the HPWS within the specific context of Korean nursing. Furthermore, the authors suggest that the two attributions may not conflict with each other, indicating that the impact of HR performance attribution is conditional on an individual’s self-perceived status.

IntroductionSuicide is a critical global public health issue, with South Korea exhibiting the highest suicide rate among OECD countries at 24.1 per 100,000 people in 2020. This study focuses on suicidal ideation (SI) within South Korea’s Millennials and Generation Z (Generation MZ) by examining the impact of anger and hwa-byung (HB), a culture-bound anger syndrome.MethodsThe online survey was conducted between June 7 and 12, 2024. The inclusion criteria for this study were the following: (1) generation MZ (i.e., those born between 1980 and 2005); (2) those without a history of mood disorders (i.e., depressive disorders or bipolar disorder); (3) those of Korean nationality and residing in South Korea. Demographic variables and clinical variables including SI, HB, and depression were investigated. The chi-square test or t-test was used to compare the differences between the SI and non-SI groups. Additionally, binary logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze factors associated with the presence of SI. Finally, Pearson’s correlation coefficients were calculated to explore HB symptoms that were highly associated with SI.ResultsTotal 457 participants were included. The survey revealed an overall prevalence of SI of 38.07%, with 18.82% reporting “much” or more SI and 4.81% reporting “very much” SI. Significant differences were found between the SI and non-SI groups in HB symptoms, depression, anxiety, perceived stress, trait anger, state anger, anger-in, and anger-out (all p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis identified HB symptoms (odds ratio [OR], 1.05; 95% CI, 1.00–1.11; p = 0.050), depression (OR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.23–1.62; p < 0.001), and state anger (OR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.05–1.24; p = 0.002) as significant factors for SI. The mediating factors confirmed the direct and indirect effects of HB symptoms on the presence of SI. Pearson’s correlation coefficients between HB symptoms and SI severity ranged from 0.241 to 0.536, with physical symptoms, such as heat sensation and chest pressure, showing high correlations (0.426 to 0.476).ConclusionThese findings highlight the need for mental health policies that integrate Korean medical approaches into suicide prevention. Future research should confirm these results using larger, nationally representative samples to improve generalizability and further explore HB and suicidality in diverse populations.

Background/Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Communication Skills Scale (CSS) among Peruvian nurses, as well as the factors associated with job insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We explored five models of confirmatory factor analysis for the CSS and its four subscales and assessed the convergent validity and criterion validity of the scale by analyzing its connection with job insecurity through stepwise multiple regression. We used insights from a focus group for the cultural adaptation of the scale. In the psychometric phase, 225 nurses participated through a virtual survey. Results: The psychometric analysis revealed that the CSS and its subscales have a robust internal structure—similar to the original questionnaire—and are optimally reliable in the Peruvian population. Furthermore, the results show that job insecurity was associated with contract type, communication skills, empathy, and job satisfaction. Conclusions: The CSS and its subscales are valid and reliable to be applied to Peruvian nurses. Initiatives should be undertaken to strengthen communication skills and increase job satisfaction among nursing professionals by improving their working conditions, especially in times of crisis, to reduce job insecurity and promote well-being.
