Brief Summary

The purpose of this research project is to assess the impact of a multi-level intervention designed to optimize work motivation and support physical and psychological health among employees. The intervention is based on the principles of self-determination theory; an empirically based approach to human motivation that has been applied to work and health and the job demands resources (JD-R) model; an empirically based model of occupational health.

Detailed Description

This study will provide insight into the work climate conditions that are necessary to promote healthy, productive employees and organizations. Based on the knowledge gaps identified in the literature, this will be done by examining the motivational underpinnings related to this challenge to understand the temporal processes leading workplace factors to various occupational health consequences and organizational performance.

1. Aim 1: Develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of a one-and-a-half-day training for nurse managers on 1) how to provide need support 2) facilitate job crafting and 3) how to conduct values interviews to employees (i.e., staff nurses). Following the training, managers will be prepared to implement a need-supportive style during interactions with employees and conduct a values interview.

2. Aim 2: Develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention for staff nurses to include 1) a one-day training on job crafting and need crafting at work with weekly boosters; 2) a values interview with their manager; and 3) a preventive health assessment and intervention.

Study Groups

Intervention Group

The proposed study will be implemented as an intervention study at two levels within the organization, managerial and registered nurses. The intervention comprises three major phases: a pre-intervention phase, an implementation-intervention phase, and a post-intervention phase. The interventions will be provided face-to-face by trained interventionists. At baseline, all participants will complete questionnaires and get labs completed, blood pressure checked, and weight/height measured.

Consists of two main parts. In the first part, both managers and employees will be trained in the principles of SDT and JD-R. For managers, particular attention will be paid to the provision of need support and work values. For employees, particular attention will be paid to employees' opportunities for job crafting and promoting their basic psychological need satisfaction at work.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Job crafting training

Intervention Type: BEHAVIORAL

Consists of two main parts. In the first part, both managers and employees will be trained in the principles of SDT and JD-R. For managers, particular attention will be paid to the provision of need support and work values. For employees, particular attention will be paid to employees' opportunities for job crafting and promoting their basic psychological need satisfaction at work.

In the second part of the intervention, participants will have the opportunity to discuss their current health status and receive preventive health recommendations from a preventive care specialist.

Control Group

Participants randomized to the control group will complete the baseline questionnaires and lab tests at baseline and three follow-up times. Lab values will be collected using the current standard of care and American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines (2019).
