“…For the purposes of understanding the work-nonwork interface, we are interested in analyzing connections both work networks (e.g., coworker, providing work advice) and nonwork networks (e.g., friend, providing nonwork advice). ERGMs can also include control variables (e.g., data on characteristics of the actors, such as gender, age, work location, marital status) and specific individual characteristics such as personality traits which can underlie agentic behavior (Yan et al, 2022) or proximity in the workplace (Sailer & McCulloh, 2012).…”

Individuals’ networks are multiplex—bundles of roles, interactions, and exchanges—in which the boundaries between work relationships and non-work relationships are often blurred, or integrated. Surprisingly, though, there is a paucity of research that explicitly integrates the work-nonwork literature and the social networks literature. In this paper, we advance theory on cross-domain multiplexity—multifaceted relationships that occupy a blended work–nonwork role space by superimposing work and nonwork interactions, roles, and exchanges. Specifically, we draw from work-family border theory to propose that cross-domain multiplex relationships represent a qualitatively unique form of multiplexity that involve distinct norms, drivers, and tensions. We advance the conversation around social network analytics and work-nonwork boundary research by presenting a theoretical model of cross-domain multiplex relationships that unpacks their components, as well as their unique antecedents, outcomes, and dynamics. We also review three methodological approaches that scholars can employ to analyze our propositions. Given recent theoretical and methodological advancements in both arenas, we propose that employing social network analytic methodology can inform how scholars theorize and design research around the work-nonwork interface, expand the methodological toolkit applied to these research questions, and resolve inconsistencies in whether multiplex relationships are enriching or depleting.

AimTo explore the mechanism of proactive personality influence on nurses' sense of social responsibility through a serial multiple mediation model of volunteering motivation and self‐efficacy.DesignFurther analysis of a cross‐sectional and survey‐based study.MethodsIn June 2023, a study was conducted with 722 Chinese nurses from four hospitals. Data were collected using the Proactive Personality Scale, the Self‐Efficacy Scale, the Motivation to Volunteer Scale and the Nurses' Sense of Social Responsibility Scale. Structural equation modelling was used to analyse the relationship between nurses' sense of social responsibility and its correlative factors.ResultsStructural equation modelling showed a good model fit. Proactive personality, self‐efficacy and motivation to volunteer can directly influence nurses' sense of social responsibility (β = .12, β = .04, β = .50, p < .05). According to the test of chained mediation effects, proactive personality was significant through a single mediation path of self‐efficacy (Z = 2.33, p < .05) and motivation to volunteer (Z = 7.32, p < .05) and through successive mediation paths of both variables (Z = 3.33, p < .05).ConclusionA proactive personality can motivate nurses' social responsibility. Therefore, prompting nurses to be more proactive can effectively enhance nurses' sense of social responsibility.Reporting MethodThis study was reported following the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) checklist for cross‐sectional studies.Patient or Public ContributionThis study explored the mechanisms influencing nurses' sense of social responsibility at the end of the epidemic. The results may inform the maintenance of high levels of long‐term effects of nurses' social responsibility and shed light on building a standing workforce for public health emergencies.

Background Proactive health behaviours are crucial for enhancing adolescent health. However, there is limited evidence on the potential pathways through which social support influences adolescents’ proactive health behaviours. This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the relationships between social support, self-efficacy, peer relationships and proactive health behaviours in Chinese adolescents. Methods From October to December 2023, we recruited 6075 adolescents from Shandong Province, China. They completed self-report questionnaires on social support, self-efficacy, peer relationships and proactive health behaviours. Results Linear regression analysis indicated that social support was positively associated with proactive health behaviours among adolescents ( β = 0.571, 95% CI = 0.542, 0.600). Further mediation analyses revealed that self-efficacy ( β = 0.085, 95% CI = 0.069,0.101) and peer relationships ( β = 0.156, 95% CI = 0.136,0.177) mediated this relationship. Conclusions Increased social support was associated with better proactive health behaviours in Chinese adolescents. Additionally, higher self-efficacy and positive peer relationships enhanced this association. Our findings emphasised the significance of providing supportive environments at home and at school to promote proactive health behaviours in adolescents.
