Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The present study focuses on prosocial job crafting as a novel strategy to reduce burnout and foster well-being among nurse professionals. Specifically, we will examine whether prosocial job crafting enhances individual and team-level well-being by increasing own and others' resources.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Below, we provide more information on the study design, study procedure, data collection, data management, and data analysis.

Study Design:

Type: Prospective, longitudinal, observational diary study. Duration: 10 workdays of daily surveys with a baseline survey at the start (Day 0).

Setting: Online survey tool (Castor), accessible via smartphones.

Study Procedure:

Day 0 - Baseline Survey: Collects demographic data and job-related information.

Days 1-10 - Daily Surveys:

Workday Verification: Confirmation of work on that day.

In addition to the outcomes listed under primary and secondary outcome measures, daily surveys will include measures of:

Prosocial Job Crafting: 12 items adapted to measure crafting behaviors to benefit other team members, using the Prosocial Job Crafting Measure (PSJCM).

Psychological Capital: 12 items measuring hope, self-efficacy, optimism, and resilience, using a shortened version of the Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ).

Day 11 - Post-Study Survey: Summary of results and feedback opportunity.

Data Collection:

Survey Platform: Mobile-friendly (Castor). Questionnaire Format: Self-report measures adapted for daily context.

Data Management:

Anonymity: Participants are assigned anonymous codes for data matching. Confidentiality: Data is securely stored with access only for researchers on the project.

Statistical Analysis:

Multilevel modeling will be used to analyze the nested nature of daily data and relationships between job crafting, resource exchange, and work outcomes.
