Abstract

This chapter builds on several studies about the relational job design (organizational practice) and nurses’ wellbeing from different healthcare organizations in Portugal. Altogether, studies demonstrate that the psychological effects of relational job characteristics (RJCs), namely affective commitment to patients, perceived social impact and social worth explain additional variance of nurses´ work engagement and burnout, even controlling for the effects of other well-studied job characteristics. Furthermore, these effects spillover to the life and the organizational domains. Indeed, we found that the psychological effects of RJCs affect nurses’ life satisfaction and perceived health, and nurses’ affective commitment to the organization through work engagement and burnout. With this set of studies, we explore the potential role of interactions with patients to improve nurses’ wellbeing, which is a less explored avenue when considering patients’ role in the Healthy Healthcare systems.
