- Abstract
It is essential for healthcare organisations worldwide to have an engaged nursing workforce due to the multiple challenges associated with delivering quality care for a wide range of patients. However, this study examined the effect of job demands on work engagement and the impact of job resources on work engagement among nurses in Bangladesh and the moderating impact of person-environment (P-E) fit in these relationships. Cross-sectional research and methods of quantitative analysis were used in this study. Data were gathered using simple random sampling method from 533 registered nurses working in four hospitals of Bangladesh. The data were examined through structural equation modeling using IBM SPSS 25 and SmartPLS4. The results indicated that the relationship between job demands and job resources were significantly related to work engagement which is in accordance with the job demands-resource (JD-R) theory. The results also indicated that the moderating effect of person-environment (P-E) fit on these two relationships didn't support in this study. This study makes several significant theoretical contributions as it investigated factors that influence work engagement of nurses. Practically, it may help healthcare mangers adopt different strategies so that nurses can practise their ability with responsibility to handle certain situations smoothly.
