About this study

The purpose of this research project is to assess the impact of a multi-level intervention designed to optimize work motivation and support physical and psychological health among employees. The intervention is based on the principles of self-determination theory; an empirically based approach to human motivation that has been applied to work and health and the job demands resources (JD-R) model; an empirically based model of occupational health.

Read the detailed description

This study will provide insight into the work climate conditions that are necessary to promote healthy, productive employees and organizations. Based on the knowledge gaps identified in the literature, this will be done by examining the motivational underpinnings related to this challenge to understand the temporal processes leading workplace factors to various occupational health consequences and organizational performance.

  1. Aim 1: Develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of a one-and-a-half-day training for nurse managers on 1) how to provide need support 2) facilitate job crafting and 3) how to conduct values interviews to employees (i.e., staff nurses). Following the training, managers will be prepared to implement a need-supportive style during interactions with employees and conduct a values interview.
  2. Aim 2: Develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention for staff nurses to include 1) a one-day training on job crafting and need crafting at work with weekly boosters; 2) a values interview with their manager; and 3) a preventive health assessment and intervention.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Job crafting trainingBehavioural

    Consists of two main parts. In the first part, both managers and employees will be trained in the principles of SDT and JD-R. For managers, particular attention will be paid to the provision of need support and work values. For employees, particular attention will be paid to employees' opportunities for job crafting and promoting their basic psychological need satisfaction at work.

    In the second part of the intervention, participants will have the opportunity to discuss their current health status and receive preventive health recommendations from a preventive care specialist.

Intervention GroupExperimentalThe proposed study will be implemented as an intervention study at two levels within the organization, managerial and registered nurses. The intervention comprises three major phases: a pre-intervention phase, an implementation-intervention phase, and a post-intervention phase. The interventions will be provided face-to-face by trained interventionists. At baseline, all participants will complete questionnaires and get labs completed, blood pressure checked, and weight/height measured. Consists of two main parts. In the first part, both managers and employees will be trained in the principles of SDT and JD-R. For managers, particular attention will be paid to the provision of need support and work values. For employees, particular attention will be paid to employees' opportunities for job crafting and promoting their basic psychological need satisfaction at work.
Receives: Behavioral: Job crafting training
Control GroupNo interventionParticipants randomized to the control group will complete the baseline questionnaires and lab tests at baseline and three follow-up times. Lab values will be collected using the current standard of care and American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines (2019).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from Baseline in basic psychological need satisfaction at work

    Self-Determination Theory (SDT) identifies three basic psychological needs that must be supported for humans to be optimally healthy, at work or otherwise. These needs are for autonomy (the need to feel volition and to endorse one's behavior), competence (that one can achieve desired outcomes), and relatedness (that one feels warmly and positively connected to others).

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months

  2. Change from Baseline in Managerial Autonomy Support

    The Work Climate Questionnaire, Short Form (Baard et al. 2004; Schultz et al., 2015) assessed perceptions of autonomy support from the participant's most immediate supervisor over the past 4 weeks. The scale comprises six items, and responses were made on a 7- point scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree), with higher scores indicating greater perceived managerial autonomy support. Sample items include "My supervisor tries to understand how I see things before suggesting a new way to do things" and "I feel that my supervisor provides me with choices and options." Reliability in this sample was good, α=0.94.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months

Model description
A Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) design will be used to evaluate the effect of job-crafting, need crafting, and preventative health visits based on motivational underpinnings. As a basis for collecting data through the different time points and evaluate the intervention, the study will adopt a mixed method approach. That is, both qualitative (i.e., focus groups and interviews) and quantitative (i.e., questionnaires) methods will be applied to evaluate the interventions implemented.
