Providing a structural model for predicting of job outcomes based on job role stressors by stress arousal in nurses West of Mazandaran Province

Introduction: One of the important conditions for maintaining a skilled workforce is to create a healthy and safe work environment through which the negative job consequences are reduced and the positive job results of skilled manpower of organizations and institutions are increased. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of job role stressors with respect to mediating stress arousal on nurses' job outcomes. Methods: The statistical population of the present study was all nurses working in hospitals in the west of Mazandaran province (1878 people in 1398) from which 352 people were selected by stratified random sampling. In this study, Rizzo and Lust (1970) job stress questionnaire, Linz employee job satisfaction questionnaire (2003), Lango and Marrow (2011) standard job quest questionnaire, Metavildo and Scooter employee job performance questionnaire (1994), and scale Stress arousal was used by Smith et al. (2012). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling using SPSS-24 and Amos-24 software. Results: The results of path analysis showed that the fit of the model is appropriate. The results also showed that stressors of job role and mental preparation have a direct and significant effect on job results. Stress arousal also has an indirect and significant effect on job results. Conclusion: Considering the important role of stress arousal on nurses' job outcomes, it seems necessary for managers and officials of health centers to pay attention to this matter, so it is recommended to study the causes and appropriate strategies to reduce job stress. Holding training workshops on teaching coping strategies can be effective in improving the job performance of nurses.
