Abstract
Abstract
Aim
This study aimed to examine the effects of a person–job match in the six areas of worklife on Egyptian nurses’ job embeddedness.
Background
Healthcare organizations struggle to embed nurses in their job. However, the antecedents of nurses’ job embeddedness are not fully known, especially those related to organizational factors. This study is an initiative to contribute in this field.
Methods
A national cross-sectional study that enrolled 1003 Egyptian licensed nurses was conducted. Data were collected using an online-based version of the Areas of Worklife Scale and the Global Job Embeddedness Scale and analyzed using the descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis.
Results
Nurses reported a moderate level of job embeddedness with a person–job match in control, reward, and community. Regression analysis showed four of six areas of worklife (value, fairness, community, and control) contributing to nurses’ job embeddedness.
Conclusion
Nurses who experience a person–job match in the value, fairness, community, and control areas of worklife are more likely to embed in their job. A match in the value area has the great potentials for nurses to embed in their job.
Implications for nursing management
Actions aimed at embedding nurses should prioritize on optimizing a person–job match in value, fairness, community, and control.
