“…Previous studies of presenteeism focused on job requirements and resource models and suggested that support from supervisors and coworkers increases productivity [35,70]. Strong support from supervisors and coworkers is associated with higher productivity and less presenteeism [71], while work stress can trigger presenteeism [72]. Because aging workers seek to interact with the work environment, the work environment can directly inhibit their presenteeism.…”

With the rapid increase of aging workforces, companies worldwide are concerned with improving the health and working status of older workers. Sense of control is an important psychological variable in sociology but has attracted less attention in studies of occupational health and management. This study examined the association of sense of control with presenteeism among aging workers in the United States. Data from the Health and Retirement Survey were analyzed, specifically, 2308 observations in 2012. Structural equation modeling was used to assess work environment, sense of control (measured in relation to personal mastery and perceived constraints), and associations with presenteeism. The moderating effect of subjective social status on the association between sense of control and presenteeism was examined with a moderated mediation model. In the final structural equation modeling model, work environment was directly inversely associated with presenteeism, and work environment was significantly inversely associated with perceived constraints. There was a direct positive association between work environment and personal mastery, a direct positive association between perceived constraints and presenteeism, and a significant inverse association between personal mastery and presenteeism. The significant indirect effects between work environment and presenteeism were significantly mediated by sense of control. Subjective social status inversely moderated the relation between presenteeism and perceived mastery, a dimension of sense of control. To increase the performance of aging workers in the United States, managers should create a work environment that facilitates access to job resources, as this might improve personal sense of control, particularly among those with high subjective social status.

“…To clarify targeted strategies that enhance work engagement, identifying potentially modifiable factors that stimulate work engagement is imperative. Previous studies have shown that reward (Adriaenssens, Gucht, & Maes, ; Wang, Liu, Zou, Hao, & Wu, ), job control (Adriaenssens et al, ; Van Bogaert et al, ), supervisor and/or coworker support (García‐Sierra, Fernández‐Castro, & Martínez‐Zaragoza, ; Poulsen, Khan, Poulsen, Khan, & Poulsen, ), and nurse–physician collaboration (Van Bogaert et al, ) were positively and significantly associated with work engagement. These work‐related factors have been recognized as potential predictors of work engagement among nonpsychiatric nurses.…”

Aim To identify the factors influencing work engagement among psychiatric nurses. Background Work engagement is an essential outcome that promotes nurses' performance, but studies investigating its influencing factors remain limited in psychiatric settings. We hypothesized that job resources and personal resources positively predict psychiatric nurses' work engagement and have a particularly positive impact on engagement when job demand is high. Methods This cross‐sectional study included 425 Japanese psychiatric nurses. Data regarding demographics, job resources, personal resources (emotional intelligence), job demand (patients' attitude towards nurses) and work engagement were collected followed by data analysis using hierarchical multiple regression. Results Reward, supervisor support, nurse–physician collaboration, other‐emotion appraisal and use of emotions were positively related to work engagement. Patients' unpleasant attitude towards nurses boosted the association of reward and supervisor support with work engagement. Conclusions Certain job resources, empathic ability and self‐motivation ability may enhance work engagement. Furthermore, reward and supervisor support may be particularly useful when psychiatric nurses face patients' unpleasant attitude. Implications for Nursing Management For enhancing psychiatric nurses' work engagement, nursing leaders should educate nurses' skills related to empathy and self‐motivation, consider whether nurses are confronted with patients' unpleasant attitude, and improve the job resources.

“…For example, increased social support contributed to greater work engagement significantly in Spanish nurses (Garc ıa-Sierra et al 2016). Workplace social support (supervisor and co-worker support) had significant positive effects on work engagement experienced by hospital nurses in Portugal and oncological healthcare professionals in Australia, respectively (Orgamb ıdez-Ramos & de Almeida 2017; Poulsen et al 2016). It was also reported that higher support from supervisors fostered more engagement in work, but support from co-workers did not predict work engagement significantly among nurses in Malaysia (Othman & Nasurdin 2013).…”

Aim To describe the levels of work engagement, and to analyse the reciprocal relationships between social support, empathy, resilience and work engagement among haemodialysis nurses in China. Background Work engagement is a critical workplace health indicator. Previous studies have examined work engagement perceived by nurses working in diverse hospital wards, or a specialty area (emergency care or intensive care), no previous studies have highlighted work engagement and its affecting factors among haemodialysis nurses. Methods Participants in the cross‐sectional study were 345 haemodialysis nurses employed in 17 hospitals in Chengdu, China. Hierarchical regression analyses were carried out to analyse the relationships between social support, empathy, resilience and work engagement in haemodialysis nurses. Results Resilience was the strongest positive significant contributor to work engagement, followed by other support and perspective taking (cognitive empathy). Nurses with longer occupational tenure reported higher levels of work engagement. Male nurses also reported greater work engagement than female nurses. Discussion Influence of work engagement was explored by social support, empathy and resilience, reflecting the need of haemodialysis nurses to understand the significance of focusing on their personal and environmental factors. Conclusions Positive resilience, other support and cognitive empathy can result in increased work engagement. Implications for nursing Training programs, such as mindfulness meditation training and empathy skills training, are recommended for nursing managers to enhance resilience and empathic capacity in nurses. Implications for nursing policy Nursing policies should be developed to establish supportive work environments in clinical practice settings and to support the education and training of psychological resilience and empathic capacity in order to foster work engagement.
