Item Restricted Antecedents of Job Stress: A Systematic Literature Review(Brunel university London, 2024-03-08) Alzahrani, Shorouq; Aljubairi, IbrahimCurrently, family concepts are evolving and are an essential and ongoing development. Maintaining family life is essential for achieving a high quality of life, as family conflicts can impact the enduring value of life quality. Business organisations must continuously enhance service quality to meet customer expectations and maintain competitiveness. Increased competitiveness and customer satisfaction demands might impact staff productivity. The competition significantly impacts the employees who might have irregular working hours, a significant workload, job stress, and challenges managing work and family obligations. Job stress is often seen in most business organisations these days. Job stress can arise when employees are unable to meet job standards. Considering its importance, this study investigated the systematic literature review of antecedents of job stress, including social support, job satisfaction, and work- family conflict. Besides, this study examined the impact of job stress on job satisfaction, social support, and work-family conflict. Secondary data was gathered from journals, websites, blogs, and articles. A total of 203 journal articles were collected for conducting a systematic literature review from JSTOR, Emerald, Science Direct, Taylor and Francis, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Elsevier, published between January 2013 and December 2023. 67 articles were included in the thematic analysis. The findings of this study are helpful for employers in reducing the job stress of employees and increasing their satisfaction levels. The study demonstrates that while several job stressors and coping strategies have been discovered, only a few sectors actively address these issues to provide a stress-free work environment. Future research may prioritise the establishment of an organisational framework that aligns with developmental characteristics and fosters a supportive atmosphere for employees, hence mitigating job stress levels.29 0Item Restricted The Impact of Missed Nursing Care on Organisational Commitment(Saudi Digital Library, 2023-05-19) Alsubhi, Hattan; Meskell, Pauline; O’Shea, Deirdre; Doody, OwenMissed Nursing Care has been described as a global problem for nursing practice, potentially affecting numerous nursing outcomes. The overall aim of this study was to investigate the psychological mechanisms through which missed nursing care impacts organisational commitment. A quantitative, longitudinal survey design was implemented with data collected using an online survey across four-time points from nurses working in Saudi hospitals across the five regions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (N= 1,905 at time 1; N= 176 at time 4). Descriptive, correlation, ANOVA, and regression statistics were performed in SPSS 26. In addition, Hayes’ PROCESS Macro was used to perform a sequential mediation analysis of the relationship between missed nursing care and organisational commitment mediated by work meaning, professional identity and job stress. The findings showed that missed nursing care did not impact organisational commitment directly (LLCI = -0.11, ULCI = 0.11) and neither were they significantly correlated. In addition, work meaning (BootLLCI = -0.01, BootULCI = 0.01), professional identity (BootLLCI = -0.03, BootULCI = 0.012), and job stress (BootLLCI = -0.08, BootULCI = 0.02) did not mediate the relationship between organisational commitment and missed nursing care. Similar results were realised for work meaning and job stress (BootLLCI = -0.01, BootULCI = 0.00). However, professional identity impacted on job stress significantly (LLCI = -0.70, ULCI = -0.12) and could explain a 6 percent variance in job stress (ΔR2 = .06), while job stress impacted on organisational commitment negatively (LLCI = -0.48, ULCI = -0.14) and could explain 12 percent variance (ΔR2 = .12). Other results showed that nurses working in the general medical surgical nursing reported higher missed nursing care than nurses working in either emergency or critical care nursing or daycare/operation theatre nursing/obstetrics and labour room. Therefore, it can be concluded that job stress is one of the most critical factors for achieving organisational commitment among Saudi nurses. Although the prevalence of missed nursing care is not very high among Saudi nurses in general, nurses working in units associated with higher work meaning and professional identity based on clearly defined roles tend to have comparatively lower missed nursing care.20 0
