Digital job demands and healthcare workers' workplace well-being: the mediating role of job and personal resources

In highly digitalized settings, digital job demands did not consistently operate as direct stressors. In healthcare context, resources including autonomy, digital innovation support and resilience were positively related to well-being and, in some cases, operated as mediating mechanisms linking digital system overload to well-being outcomes. This study extends the job demands-resources model by highlighting the importance of mediating role of resources in highly digitalized healthcare work.

Abstract

In highly digitalized settings, digital job demands did not consistently operate as direct stressors. In healthcare context, resources including autonomy, digital innovation support and resilience were positively related to well-being and, in some cases, operated as mediating mechanisms linking digital system overload to well-being outcomes. This study extends the job demands-resources model by highlighting the importance of mediating role of resources in highly digitalized healthcare work.
