Introduction: The present study aimed to investigate the role of perceived psychosocial climate and life satisfaction in predicting job stress and work engagement among nurses in military hospitals, considering the moderating role of quality of work life.
Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted on all nurses working in military hospitals in Tabriz, Iran, from among whom 329 participants were selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected face-to-face by the researcher visiting the hospitals using standardized questionnaires assessing perceived psychosocial climate, life satisfaction, job stress, work engagement, and quality of work life. Structural equation modeling was performed using Smart PLS version 3 software.
Results: The findings showed that perceived psychosocial climate had a significant negative relationship with job stress (β = -0.343, p < 0.01) and a significant positive relationship with work engagement (β = 0.352, p < 0.01). Furthermore, life satisfaction demonstrated a negative relationship with job stress (β = -0.386) and a positive relationship with work engagement (β = 0.342). The analysis of the moderating role of quality of work life indicated that quality of work life significantly moderated the relationships between perceived psychosocial climate and life satisfaction with both job stress and work engagement (moderation β range = 0.134 to 0.327, p < 0.05).
Conclusion: It can be concluded that enhancing a positive psychosocial climate and increasing life satisfaction, along with improving quality of work life, can lead to reduced job stress and increased work engagement among nurses. These findings can be useful for military hospital managers in designing interventions to promote nurses' occupational health.
