The moderating role of person-environment fit on the relationship between perceived workload and work engagement among hospital nurses

Abstract

The study examines the moderating roles of person-environment fit on the relationship between perceived workload and employee work engagement. The participants of the study comprised of 216 hospital nurses sampled from public hospitals in southeast, Nigeria. The results of the regression analyses showed that perceived high workload was significantly and negatively related to work engagement. The results of the moderated hierarchical regression analyses showed that person-job fit had a moderating effect on the relationship between perceived high workload and work engagement. The moderating effect of person-organization fit in the relation between perceived high workload and work engagement was not significant. The implications of the findings to the job demands-resources theory and employee selection and development were discussed.
