Research progress on job control of nurses

Abstract

Abstract:

Job control refers to the ability to independently adjust tasks，resources and environment at work，emphasizing the degree of individual control over work content and process. As an important work resource for nurses，it is closely related to their work experience and career development. This article reviews the concept，measuring tools，current situation，influencing factors and effect results of nurses' job control. It is concluded that the level of nurses' job control is affected by multiple factors，including emotional intelligence，psychological empowerment，learned resourcefulness and other personal factors，and organizational social factors such as workplace violence and leadership style，as well as the work family conflict. The above factors affect nurses' organizational behavior，work experience and work-family balance. Therefore，this paper proposes three strategies：work content arrangement，leadership style change and training activity design，aiming to provide reference for strengthening nurses' job control，improving nurses' work experience and promoting the improvement of medical service quality.

Key words: Nurse, Job control, Nursing management, Review literature
