Project description
Building trust and mental well-being in healthcare workers
Work-related stressors and major societal disruptions, such as economic crises and the COVID-19 pandemic, have intensified mental distress among health workers, highlighting the urgent need to better understand and support mental well-being in the workplace. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the POTRUWELL project will investigate how psychological ownership (the feeling of possessiveness over one’s work) influences workers’ mental well-being in the Irish health sector. It will examine whether trust in the work environment acts as a key link between psychological ownership and mental well-being and whether emotional intelligence strengthens this relationship. Finally, it will explore how improved mental well-being contributes to workers’ learning outcomes and professional development.
Objective
Mental wellbeing is crucial to investigate, as (i) 13% (over 300 million people) of the world’s population suffers from mental health problems; (ii) costs associated with mental health issues will rise to US$16 trillion by 2030; (iii) the European economic recession (2008) caused severe mental distress among workers; and (iv) COVID-19 deteriorated the situation further. Mental wellbeing therefore, is recognized as an ‘urgent global public health priority’ and acknowledged as a ‘top priority and a long-term concern.’
Psychological ownership (PO—a feeling of possessiveness) enables workers to experience mental wellbeing, learning, and commitment to contribute more. In contrast, mental wellbeing (a global priority—UN’s sustainable goal no. 3) allows individuals to realize their abilities, cope with the stresses of life, work productively and fruitfully and make a contribution to their community (World Health Organization 2001). In addition, trust in the environment may serve vital role in the expression and impact of PO on the workers’ mental wellbeing. It, to a considerable extent, depends on perception and management of negative emotions, where emotional intelligence plays a vital role. Emotional intelligence strengthens the workers’ trust in the environment and their mental wellbeing bond. Thereafter, mental wellbeing is crucial for the workers’ cognitive, social, and self-growth learning outcomes.
POTRUWELL will investigate the direct relationship of PO and workers’ mental wellbeing in Irish health sector. Further, trust in the environment is taken as a mediator between the direct relationship, and emotional intelligence is taken as a moderator between trust in the environment and mental wellbeing. Lastly, it will be assessed whether mental wellbeing is instrumental for workers’ learning outcomes.
POTRUWELL will help the applicant to achieve leadership skills, project management, and communication skills to develop professional maturity and secure employability.
