Abstract

<p>Purpose: This study aimed to clarify the relationship between the nursing staff’s work engagement and social support from hospital head nurses and colleagues.</p><p>Method: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 37 head nurses and 529 nursing staff working in 16 medical institutions. The survey explored work engagement and social support from the head nurse and colleagues. Multilevel correlation coefficients were calculated and statistically analyzed.</p><p>Results: At the individual level, significant positive correlations were found between nurses’ perceptions of social support from the head nurse and colleagues and their work engagement across all scales and subscales of social support. There were significant positive correlations between work engagement and the three subscales of head nurse motivation, discretionary support, and positive attitudes toward colleagues’ work at the departmental level.</p><p>Conclusion: Nursing staff with positive perceptions of social support from the head nurse and colleagues have higher work engagement.</p>
