Personal resources in the job demands-resources model

Abstract

Coworking spaces gelten vor allem für Selbstständige und Freelancer als ressourcenreiches Arbeitsplatzkonzept, welches flexibles Arbeiten (siehe New ways of working Ansatz) sowie sozialen Austausch unterstützt. Gemäß des Job Demands-Resources Modells stehen Arbeitsressourcen in direktem Zusammenhang mit Arbeitsengagement; Personale Ressourcen sowie Strategien hingegen nehmen eine vermittelnde Rolle ein. Dieser motivationale Prozess wurde bisher nicht an Coworkern erforscht. Diese Studie nimmt an, dass Selbstwirksamkeitserwartung den Zusammenhang zwischen Arbeitsressourcen und Arbeitsengagement mediiert und Strategien zur eigenen Zielsetzung einen Mediator zwischen Selbstwirksamkeitserwartung und Arbeitsengagement darstellen. Nach einer Fokusgruppen-Diskussion wurde dafür ein Fragebogen adaptiert und als europaweite Online-Umfrage mit 156 Coworkern durchgeführt. Ergebnisse zeigten die positive Wirkung von Handlungsspielraum auf Arbeitsengagement und die partielle Mediation von Selbstwirksamkeitserwartung zwischen Handlungs- sowie Zeitspielraum und Arbeitsengagement. Den Ergebnissen zufolge ergibt sich Arbeitsengagement in coworking spaces hauptsächlich durch Handlungsspielraum und wird außerdem von personalen Ressourcen und Strategien mediiert. Unerwarteterweise ergab sich kein Zusammenhang mit sozialer Unterstützung, sodass diese nicht gleichzusetzen ist mit sozialer Interaktion. Weitere Studien sind zur genaueren Betrachtung empfohlen.

Coworking spaces are resourceful environments enabling new ways of working and social interaction predominantly used by people being self-employed and freelancers. Referring to the Job Demands-Resources model, job resources are directly related to work engagement, whereas personal resources and strategies play a mediating role. However, no study has yet investigated this motivational process for Coworkers. The present study suggested that self-efficacy mediates the relation between job resources and work engagement and self-goal setting acts as mediator between self-efficacy and work engagement. Therefore, an online survey was adapted for Coworkers after a focus group discussion and conducted Europe-wide with 156 Coworkers. Results showed that method control had a positive impact on work engagement. Moreover, self-efficacy was a partial mediator between job control (method and time control) and work engagement. Results lent support that work engagement in coworking spaces is mainly related to method control and mediated by personal resources and strategies. Unexpectedly, there was no relation between social support and work engagement, indicating that social support is not equivalent with social interaction, a characteristic feature of coworking spaces. Thus, further investigations of the social aspect are indicated.
