Abstract

Aims: The present study was designed to determine the relationship between meaningful work and job performance, and the impact of meaningful work on nursing care quality. Background: Meaningful work has been suggested as a significant factor affecting job performance, but the relationship has never been studied in nurses in China. Design: A descriptive correlational study was designed to assess the level of meaningful work, tasks, and contextual performance as well as their relationships. Methods: We used a stratified random‐sampling approach to enrol nurses from hospitals. Multivariate regression analysis was applied to determine the relationship between meaningful work and their demographic data. Results: There were significant, positive relationships between meaningful work and task performance and contextual performance. Education level, work unit, and employment type influenced meaningful work. The work motivation score of the nurses was lower than that of the other 2 dimensions, and a negative work motivation score negatively influenced job performance. Conclusion: Improving meaningful work and providing more support and assistance could improve nurse performance, thereby improving the quality of nursing care.

5 | CONCLUSIONS

The results of the present study demonstrated that attention can be focused to improving meaningful work and providing more support and assistance, with the intention of improving nursing performance and thereby the quality of nursing care. Our results indicated that nursing managers should encourage nurses to find meaning in their work by providing nurses with better working conditions, more learning opportunities, and training. In addition, nurse managers should also increase the number of nurses for routine work, and hospitals could consider increasing the remuneration of nurses.
