Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this research project is to assess the impact of a multi-level intervention designed to optimize work motivation and support physical and psychological health among employees. The intervention is based on the principles of self-determination theory; an empirically based approach to human motivation that has been applied to work and health and the job demands resources (JD-R) model; an empirically based model of occupational health.
Detailed Description
This study will provide insight into the work climate conditions that are necessary to promote healthy, productive employees and organizations. Based on the knowledge gaps identified in the literature, this will be done by examining the motivational underpinnings related to this challenge to understand the temporal processes leading workplace factors to various occupational health consequences and organizational performance. 1. Aim 1: Develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of a one-and-a-half-day training for nurse managers on 1) how to provide need support 2) facilitate job crafting and 3) how to conduct values interviews to employees (i.e., staff nurses). Following the training, managers will be prepared to implement a need-supportive style during interactions with employees and conduct a values interview. 2. Aim 2: Develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention for staff nurses to include 1) a one-day training on job crafting and need crafting at work with weekly boosters; 2) a values interview with their manager; and 3) a preventive health assessment and intervention.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change from Baseline in basic psychological need satisfaction at work
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months
Self-Determination Theory (SDT) identifies three basic psychological needs that must be supported for humans to be optimally healthy, at work or otherwise. These needs are for autonomy (the need to feel volition and to endorse one's behavior), competence (that one can achieve desired outcomes), and relatedness (that one feels warmly and positively connected to others).
Change from Baseline in Managerial Autonomy Support
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months
The Work Climate Questionnaire, Short Form (Baard et al. 2004; Schultz et al., 2015) assessed perceptions of autonomy support from the participant's most immediate supervisor over the past 4 weeks. The scale comprises six items, and responses were made on a 7- point scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree), with higher scores indicating greater perceived managerial autonomy support. Sample items include "My supervisor tries to understand how I see things before suggesting a new way to do things" and "I feel that my supervisor provides me with choices and options." Reliability in this sample was good, α=0.94.
Change from Baseline in Organizational need support
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months
6-item questionnaire that contains items related to employee experience at the organization.
Change from Baseline in Work motivation
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months
Questionnaire that assesses external regulation, introjection, identified regulation, intrinsic motivation, and amotivation at work. Response scale: 1 (not at all for this reason), 2 (not really for this reason), 3 (a little for this reason), 4 (moderately for this reason), 5 (strongly for this reason), 6 (very strongly for this reason), 7 (exactly for this reason)
Change from Baseline in Job crafting
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months
Questionnaire assessing how often the employee engages in the following behaviors; optimizing hindering demands, increasing structural resources, increasing social resources, increasing challenging demans, and reframing job conception.
Change in Baseline in Work characteristics
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months
Questionnaire that assesses characteristics of the job including skill variety, task variety, job feedback, job autonomy, social feedback, social impact, role conflict, workload, emotional demands, and cognitive demands. Response scale: 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree)
Change in Baseline in Work stress and burnout
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months
Questionnaire assessing the amount of stress felt at work and how often burnout is experienced. Response scale: 0 (never), 1 (a few times a year or less), 2 (once a month or less), 3 (a few times a month), 4 (once a week), 5 (a few times a week), to 6 (every day)
Change in Baseline in work performance
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months
Questionnaire assessing employee performance over the past year and includes task proficiency, task adaptivity, task proactivity. Response scale: 1 (very little) to 5 (a great deal).
