Abstract: Objective To understand the mediating effect of prosocial motivation between job crafting and career calling of clinical nurses,and provide a reference for improving the career calling of clinical nurses. Methods From October to December 2023,a convenience sampling method was used to select 531 nurses from 6 grade-A tertiary general hospitals in Shaanxi Province as the survey subjects. General information questionnaire,job crafting scale,prosocial motivation scale and career calling scale were used for the survey,and the data were analyzed. Results The total scores of job crafting,prosocial motivation and career calling of clinical nurse were (76.49±13.14),(20.22±3.44) and (61.43±13.96)points,respectively. Career calling was positively correlated with job crafting and prosocial motivation(r=0.696,0.705,both P<0.01),and job crafting was positively correlated with prosocial motivation(r=0.620,P<0.001). Prosocial motivation played a partial mediating role between job crafting and career calling,accounting for 36.39% of the total effect. Conclusion Job crafting can affect career calling of clinical nurses through prosocial motivation. Nursing managers should formulate scientific and effective interventions to cultivate nurses' job crafting ability,and further stimulate their prosocial motivation to improve the level of career calling.
