Abstract：Objective To explore the chain mediating effect of perceived social support and thriving at work on nurses'job crafting and career calling.Methods Using convenience sampling,a total of 507 nurses from five tertiary class A hospitals of Beijing were surveyed from October to November 2023 by using general information questionnaire,Job Crafting Scale,Perceived Social Support Scale,Thriving at Work Scale and Calling Scale-12.Results The scores of job crafting,perceived social support,thriving at work,and career calling of nurses were(80.04±15.45),(68.24±12.46),(39.00±6.98),(44.47±9.80),respectively,and there was a positive correlation between them(r=0.572～0.813,P＜0.001).The mediating effect analysis showed that the total indirect effect of nurses'job crafting on career calling was 0.372,and the media-ting effects of perceived social support and thriving at work accounted for 11.97%and 32.26%of the total effect,respectively.The chain medi-ating effect of the two accounted for 10.07%of the total effect.Conclusion Nurses'job crafting and perceived social support are at a high level,and thriving at work and career calling are both at an upper-middle level.The multiple mediating effects of perceived social support and thriving at work between nurses'job crafting and career calling are established.It is suggested that managers optimize the management model to meet the needs of nurses'competence,enhance nurses'ability to perceive social support,stimulate work enthusiasm,and thus improve the career calling of nurses.
