The mediating effect of psychosocial factors in the relationship between self-organizing teams and employee wellbeing: A cross-sectional observational study.
Several benefits of working in a self-organizing team, such as higher job satisfaction and better engagement to work have been demonstrated in previous studies. To examine whether those employees working in a self-organizing team have higher job satisfaction and lower turnover intentions compared to...

To examine whether those employees working in a self-organizing team have higher job satisfaction and lower turnover intentions compared to those in non-self-organized teams. Further, to test whether psychosocial factors defined by the Job Demand-Control model would function as mediators. A cross-sectional survey study. Home care and assisted living facilities (with 24-h assistance). Licensed practical nurses (N = 377), registered nurses, therapists and managers (N = 183), and other employees (N = 31) in services for older people. A survey for employees working in services for older people and who were either in the self-organized teams or in the non-self-organized teams. Data was analyzed using linear regression and mediation analyses. Those employees who worked in a self-organizing team were more satisfied with their job and had lower turnover intentions compared to those in a non-self-organizing team (mean [SD] 3.9 [1.0] vs. 3.7 [1.0], p = 0.006 and 2.2 [1.2] vs. 2.5 [1.3], p = 0.006, respectively). Moreover, job demands and job strain partially mediated the effect of self-organizing teamwork on job satisfaction (Average causal mediation effect [95%CI] 0.09 [0.02–0.15] and 0.10 [0.03–0.18], respectively), as well as on turnover intentions (Average causal mediation effect [95%CI] − 0.08 [− 0.15 to − 0.01] and − 0.20 [− 0.18 to − 0.03], respectively). In the context of older people care services, working in self-organizing teams may enhance employee wellbeing by lowering job demands and job strain, but not by improving job control. Based on the findings of this study, self-organization seems beneficial, however, it requires real autonomy for the teams and team building. Self-organizing teamwork increases job satisfaction and decreases turnover intentions via lower job demands and strain in older people care. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
