Nursing in developing country’s context: examining the perception of politics as mediator in between emotional intelligence and work outcomes
Abstract
Nursing demands very high degree of emotional composition and is also very sensitive to perception of politics. Therefore, nursing provides an interesting to study the interplay of perception of politics between emotional intelligence and numerous job outcomes in the form of job satisfaction, turnover intention, negligent behavior, organizational citizenship behavior, task performance and absenteeism. To examine these relationships, a sample data were drawn from 313 nursing staff working in hospitals and health care units in Pakistan. Structured questionnaire for measuring each variable on five points Likert scale was used to collect the sample data using non-probability sampling technique. For testing mediation effect, Preacher and Hayes process macro model 4 has been used. Findings revealed that emotional intelligence is inversely related to perception of politics in the nursing sector. Results also indicated that relationship between emotional intelligence and various job outcomes is mediated by perception of politics except turnover intention that was excluded from analysis owing to low reliability. Finally, recommendations and future research directions have been documented at the end of the study.
