Relationships among thriving at work, organisational commitment and job satisfaction among Chinese front-line primary public health workers during COVID-19 pandemic: a structural e... by Di Jiang, Jingjing Wang, Lei Guo, Yuanmin Jia, Mo Yi, Zeyi Zhang, Ou Chen, Baosheng Zhao

“…Objectives This study aims to explore the mediating effect and influence mechanism of organisational commitment on the association among thriving at work and job satisfaction among frontline primary public health workers (PHWs) in China during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design This study is a cross-sectional written survey.Setting We included 20 primary care units in northern provinces of China.Participants A total of 601 PHWs who worked in primary organisations and against COVID-19 on the front line were included.Methods We collected the data from the participants’ written questionnaire (Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, thriving at work scale and organisational commitment scale), and programmed AMOS V.26.0 to develop a structural equation model (SEM) based on the relationships among the three variables.Results The thriving at work scores of the primary PHWs were (M=3.17, SD=0.65), and job satisfaction was (M=3.05, SD=0.69); the scores of their thriving at work, organisational commitment and job satisfaction were all significantly correlated (p&lt;0.01); and the SEM indicated that organisational commitment had a significant partial mediating effect between thriving at work and job satisfaction. …”
