Aim:
To explore the mediating role of self-esteem in the relationship between perceived organizational support and professional benefits among Registered Nurses in China.
Design:
This was an online, cross-sectional study involving 1850 nurses from six hospitals in China.
Methods:
Data were collected using a 4-part questionnaire including a sociodemographic questionnaire, perceived organizational support scale, self-esteem scale and brief nurses' perceived professional benefits questionnaire from September to November 2021. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to explore the associations among them.
Results:
Perceived organizational support was positively correlated with self-esteem and perceived professional benefits among nurses, whereas self-esteem positively predicted nurses' perceived professional benefits . Self-esteem partially mediated the relationship between the two variables. The ratio of the mediating effect to the total effect was 16.7%.
