The Effect of Team Job Crafting on Professional Quality of Life Among Nurses: A Latent Profile Analysis

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Aims: This study aimed to classify the latent profiles of team job crafting of nurses and to examine their effect on professional quality of life (ProQOL). Background: Team job crafting, as an emerging concept, could promote team productivity and performance by enhancing collaboration among team members and might affect nurses’ ProQOL. However, whether different population characteristics of team job crafting for nurses pattern latent profiles and how these subgroups correlate with nurses’ ProQOL remains to be determined. Methods: This cross‐sectional study was conducted at a general tertiary hospital in Sichuan Province, China. Two thousand two hundred fifty‐three nurses completed an online investigation encompassing the Team Job Crafting Scale for Nurses and the Professional Quality of Life Scale. Latent profile analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were employed to validate our research hypotheses. Results: The team job crafting of nurses was classified into two subgroups: “poor team job crafting group” ( n = 973, 43.2%) and “excellent team job crafting group” ( n = 1280, 56.8%). The different profiles of team job crafting exhibited significant effects on three subvariables of nurses’ ProQOL: compassion satisfaction (adjusted R 2 = 0.208, p < 0.001), burnout (adjusted R 2 = 0.192, p < 0.001), and secondary traumatic stress (adjusted R 2 = 0.043, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Team job crafting for nurses was characterized by a strong population heterogeneity. The majority of nurses perform excellent in the team job crafting. The team job crafting was significantly associated with the ProQOL among nurses. Nursing managers should draw up targeted continuing educational training programs and organizational policies to promote the positive participation of nurses in team job crafting, thereby improving their ProQOL.
