Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Background: The physical and mental health of nursing staff is crucial, affecting them personally and influencing the quality of medical care they provide. In this study, we used positive psychology to examine the effect of workplace spirituality on the physical and mental health of nursing staff. We also employed person–environment fit theory to identify the moderating effects of person–job and person–organization fit on the aforementioned relationship. Methods: Full‐time nursing staff employed for more than 6 months at a medical center were recruited. Stratified random sampling was conducted together with a questionnaire survey, yielding 320 nursing staff participants and 255 valid questionnaire responses. Results: Workplace spirituality was found to have a positive effect on physical and mental health. Better person–organization fit was associated with better person–job fit and a stronger effect of workplace spirituality on physical health. In addition, more favorable person–job fit was associated with a stronger effect of workplace spirituality on mental health. Conclusions: This study emphasized the effect of workplace spirituality on the physical and mental health of nursing personnel. It also considered the moderating effects of person–organization fit and person–job fit. Managers should prioritize and support the cultivation of workplace spirituality, involve employees in shaping the culture of their organization, and ensure alignment between employee’s job requirements and skills.
