The impact of perceived organizational support on professional commitment: a moderation of burnout and mediation of well-being

Abstract

PurposeIn today’s challenging world, achieving professional commitment among healthcare workers is becoming the need of time. Drawing on self-determination theory, the current study examines how and under which boundary conditions perceived organizational support affects professional commitment.Design/methodology/approachData was collected from doctors and nurses employed in public and private sector hospitals by employing a split-questionnaire design.FindingsThe authors’ study findings demonstrate that perceived organizational support has a positive and indirect effect on the professional commitment of nurses and doctors via mediating the role of subjective well-being. The authors also found that these findings depend on healthcare workers’ burnout levels. The positive relationship between perceived organizational support and subjective well-being is attenuated by burnout syndrome.Practical implicationsThe current study poses implications for policymakers and administrators of healthcare institutions as well as to develop a supportive culture to evoke more professional commitment among healthcare workers. Implications for nursing managers and policymakers are discussed in light of the study findings.Originality/valueHealthcare institutions are increasingly paying attention to raising the professional commitment of their workforce, especially in the wake of a crisis like the COVID-19 outbreak. The current study will add to the body of literature on nursing management, healthcare studies and organizational psychology in the South Asian context by explaining the relationship between POS and professional commitment, drawing on self-determination theory.

Measuring Occupational Well-Being Indicators: Scale Construction and Validation

“…To measure the construct comprehensively, professional well-being in organizational studies has frequently extracted common items (e.g., a creative organization really cares about motivation, achievement, work productivity, and performance) [ 52 , 55 ]. Meanwhile, the latter constructs the professional well-being scale of employees (e.g., I definitely want a career for myself in organizational work outcomes) [ 56 ]. For example, Eatough et al [ 57 ] developed the main constructs of professional well-being based on self-esteem in organizing employees (e.g., at the moment, I feel that I have a number of good qualities).…”

Sustainable leadership and wellbeing of healthcare personnel: A sequential mediation model of procedural knowledge and compassion

“…Consequently, hospitals' staff not only had to work at the limit during the COVID-19 pandemic-that still persists-but might continue in the emergency status in the near future. This situation shows the need for scholars to focus their attention on the wellbeing of health personnel as a priority issue to address (Qaiser and Abid, 2022;Ilyas et al, 2022aIlyas et al, , 2022b. In the healthcare setting, employees' wellbeing acquired special relevance due to its relationship with performance.…”

“…During the heavy burden due of the pandemic, the primary purpose of the caring profession and healthcare organizations was to save patients' life by continuously enhancing their wellbeing (De Kock et al, 2021;Ilyas et al, 2022aIlyas et al, , 2022b.
