Abstract

Purpose
This study aimed to assess the effect of a job crafting intervention program for hospital nurses to confirm the effect on the organizational commitment of clinical nurses, and their embeddedness and organizational well-being in the workplace. Methods: The study used a non-equivalent control group pre-test and post-test design, which included 68 nurses working at a general hospital. The job crafting intervention program was held for a total of 5 weeks from May 27 to June 27, 2019, and the program lasted for 2 weeks including 2 h each. The program effectiveness was assessed through a self-reporting survey of program participants 2 weeks prior to application, 2 weeks after application, and 6 weeks after application. Data were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, chi-squared test, independent t-test, and repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance using the SPSS 26.0 for Windows. Results: Significant differences were observed between the experimental and control groups regarding job crafting (F=6.20, p=.003), task crafting (F=8.37, p<.001), cognitive crafting (F=6.29, p=.003), embeddedness (F=8.49, p<.001), and organizational well-being (F=4.90, p=.009). Conclusion: The job crafting intervention program can be actively utilized to induce efficient nursing staff management in hospitals, expanding it into hospital nurse's work area and developing nurse's job crafting further.
