Synopsis

Occupational wellbeing is an ongoing concern for most employees and their organisations. Commonly researched manifestations of occupational stress are burnout and workplace engagement respectively, and both have been shown to occur in a range of roles and professions. Therefore, the goal of this research was to investigate work–related wellbeing among veterinary nurses, a relatively un–researched group, using the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) model. A cross–sectional approach was used. Structural equation modelling was used to ascertain the JD-R model’s motivational and health pathways among veterinary nurses. Data were collected by online survey, with the help of eight New Zealand tertiary providers and the New Zealand Veterinary Nurses Association. One hundred and eighty–two participants provided data. The results show that a large proportion of participants displayed high levels of workplace engagement and high quality relationships among team members. This research identified reasons to expand the JD-R conceptualisation of job resources and provided a guide towards healthier workplace practices such as identifying ways to increase work–family balance.

Biographie de l'auteur

The author's inspiration for this project came from his wife and her love for veterinary science and practice. He saw the Vet Nurse profession had a gap of research and need to explore the general wellbeing of its' practitioners. The author hoped the research would initiate discussion around processes that may protect the Vet Nurse's wellbeing.
