Psychology Task Accomplishment Affect Social Support Psychological Resilience Understanding the relationship between task accomplishment in the workplace and affective states of employees is of importance for researchers and practitioners alike. Previous work has explored the link connecting these two constructs, yet has not fully explored this relationship within an occupation-specific context. This limits our full understanding of how task accomplishment can differentially impact affect. We present a daily diary study within a nursing sample exploring this relationship at a greater level of detail by looking at core (nursing-focused) tasks and peripheral (non-nursing focused) tasks and how accomplishment of these tasks impact changes in affect from pre- to postshift. By looking at two different types of tasks nurses must accomplish, we are able to see whether lack of accomplishment of one type has more of a detrimental effect on affect than the other. Further, we explore the buffering effect of two types of resources, social support from authority figures (e.g., physicians) and psychological resilience, on the task accomplishment to affect relationship. Results indicated that not accomplishment core tasks was more damaging on affect than not accomplishing peripheral tasks. Further, we found unique interactive effects for social support and psychological resilience: while both provided buffering effects for peripheral task accomplishment, no such effects were found for core task accomplishment, suggesting how critical it is that nurses accomplish their core tasks on a daily basis. 2010-08-19 English text University of Akron / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1278468206 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1278468206 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
