“…Nurses can effectively exert subjective initiative and improve their confidence, selfworth and job satisfaction and thus produce a positive psychological effect [42]. Moreover, when POS meets the nurses' emotional needs, a sense of responsibility and emotional commitment to the organization is likely to be produced, and their turnover tendency can therefore be reduced [20,43,44]. This also proves the results of POS on NPPB from another aspect.…”

Background: General self-efficacy is considered one of the most influential parameters affecting the quality of clinical practice and nurses' perceived professional benefits (NPPB). Perceived organizational support (POS) is regarded as being central in understanding job-related attitudes, and it is important to enhance POS for nurses to maintain their current employment. NPPB can further reduce nurses' job burnout and turn-over intention. Many studies have explored the relationships among general self-efficacy, POS, nursing practice environment (NPE) and NPPB. However, a moderating effect of NPE has not been fully explored in nurses, especially among paediatric nurses. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from July to October 2018 with 300 paediatric nurses from 3 Class A tertiary hospitals in Jilin Province. The respondents completed the General Self-Efficacy Scale, Perceived Organizational Support Scale, Practice Environment Scale and Nurses' Perceived Professional Benefits Scale. The data were analyzed using path analysis and SPSS (version 23.0, IBM). Results: General self-efficacy and POS were significantly positively associated with NPPB, which showed that the model had a good fit to the data. NPE was found to play a partial mediating role between POS and NPPB and also had a complete mediating role between general self-efficacy and NPPB. Conclusions: The results suggest that general self-efficacy indirectly influences NPPB, and POS directly and indirectly influences NPPB by NPE. Effective measures should be taken to improve nurses' practice environment in hospitals to raise nurses' enthusiasm and confidence in their work.

“…Thus, the professionals least affected by the burnout syndrome showed higher levels in all the individual variables mentioned above. This coincides with the literature, which suggests that Job Crafting [21,26], proactive personality [35][36][37], general self-e cacy [48,49] and the promotion regulatory focus are associated with a decrease in Burnout among workers.…”

“…The model of Job Crafting's increase in structural resources and personal dissatisfaction in Burnout established proactive personality of direct effect, but not as the mediator in this relationship. Thus, having a personality directed at actively promoting positive changes in the surroundings promotes signi cance of work [35] and improvement in professional adaptability [32], when changes are made and improve the work environment [31].…”

“…Along this line, proactive personality has been shown to mediate in the relationship between presence of con icts in the family and the job and developing burnout [34]. Furthermore, this type of personality reduces emotional exhaustion and promotes creativity, engagement, effective decision-making, signi cance of work and feelings of personal achievement and pertaining to the organization [35][36][37].…”

Background: The heavy work load and pressure to which nursing professionals are subjected leads to an increase in stress-related problems, such as burnout. Personal resources, such as job crafting, proactive personality, self-efficacy and regulatory focus are fundamental in palliating negative effects in the work environment.Objective: To analyze individual differences, with attention to proactive personality, regulatory approach and general self-efficacy in job crafting, and to determine the predictive power of these variables for burnout in nursing professionals. Methods: The sample was made up of 643 nurses. After correlation and descriptive analyses, multiple linear regression models were computed to find out the possible predictor role of the individual variables on burnout. Main Outcome Measures were: Proactive personality, Regulatory focus, Self-efficacy (participant beliefs concerning their ability to handle different daily situations adequately), Job Crafting behavior and Burnout.Results: The results showed that job crafting, proactive personality, general self-efficacy and the promotion regulatory focus were associated with a decrease in burnout in healthcare workers. Similarly, the predictive models for each of the factors in burnout in all cases included the increase in structural resources dimension of job crafting as the variable with the most weight. Furthermore, the increase in the social resources of Job Crafting for the social climate of the Burnout acted as mediator of this relationship.Conclusion: Job Crafting has been shown to be a variable promoting positive changes in the work environment that acts as a predictor of employee Burnout levels.

“…Additionally, this study suggests that employees' proactive personality has a great influence on the cognition of transformational leadership behaviors. Consistent with evidence in personnel selection (Akgunduz et al 2018), the selection of appropriate employees based on their proactivity appears to be effective for organizations. Managers need to consider employees' personality traits for leadership effectiveness and employees' personality characteristics should be matched with suitable leadership.…”

Transformational leadership, generally considered as a desirable leadership style, has positive effects on various performance outcomes of employees; however, its productivity has been called into question because of a relative neglect of its negative aspects. Addressing this gap, an attempt at rethinking the relationship between transformational leadership and employee performance is important. The paradoxical perspective indicates that conflicting positive and negative effects of transformational leadership can coexist, which provides possibility and rationality for thorough consideration of employees' task performance influenced by transformational leaders. Integrating the principle of diminishing marginal utility and the "Too-Much-ofa-Good-Thing (TMGT)" effect, this research explores an inverted U-shaped relationship between transformational leadership and employee task performance. Furthermore, applying social cognitive theory, we assume an employee's proactive personality moderates the curvilinear influence of transformational leadership on employees' task performance. As expected, results from a study of data from 209 supervisorsubordinate relationships from China showed that the inverted U-shaped relationship between transformational leadership and employees' task performance was moderated by employees' proactive personality. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
