    Latent Profiles of Organizational, Occupational and Supervisor Commitment among Nurses and their Effects on Employee Well-being and Health
    (31.05.2019) Wombacher, Jörg; Konrad, Jonas; Raff, Tilmann
    Purpose Demographic changes have led to a shortage of nurses in the healthcare sector. Nursing staff and patients are getting older and nursing cases are becoming increasingly complex. As a result, nurses’ workloads and stress levels have increased, and employee turnover has risen. Adopting a person-centered perspective, this study examines the effects of nurses’ commitment profiles on their physical and emotional well-beingand other work-related outcomes. The profiles will will be extracted based on nurses’ affective, rational, and normative commitment to their organization, occupation, and supervisor. Design and Methodology A survey was conducted among 1029 nurses from all public hospitals, nursing homes and outpatient care services from the Swiss Canton of Solothurn. A latent profile analysis using Mplus was performed to extract the commtiment profiles and examine their associations with the outcome variables. Results Four commitment profiles were found that differ both quantitatively (in terms of commitment levels) and qualitatively (in terms of shape). Results show, among others, that nurses with a high affective but low rational and normative commitment to all three foci (occupation, organization, supervisor) show higher levels of emotional strain than other profiles (e.g., low commitment levels) but also greater levels of work-life-balance and health. Limitations The cross-sectional nature of the survey precludes causal inferences. Because all data were self-reported, the associations found between profiles and outcomes may be inflated. Implications for research The person-centered approach allows an examination of complex interaction patterns among commitment foci and dimensions and their associations with work-related outcomes. A longitudinalstudy is in order to better understand causal directions and the development of complex commitment profiles over time. Practical implications The study results are relevant to practices in human resource management and retention in the healthcare sector. Because the commitment profiles refer to a broad, within-person observation of nurses, it is important to address the whole individual in interventions targeted at the improvement of unbeneficial commitment profiles. A strict focus on single commitment foci or dimensions may not be enough. Orginality, Value To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive exploration of complex commitment profiles and their association with employee health and well-being in the nursing profession.

    Personas for a better understanding of emerging worker identities in the Swiss Gig Economy
    (25.10.2018) Ryser, Thomas; Flepp, Corsin; Konrad, Jonas
    The present applied research project studied gig workers of the biggest platform company in Switzerland (around 180’000 users inscribed). To assess worker personas data were analyzed from 18 indepth interviews including the inquiry of worker biographies, their work related social network structures. The results show that platform workers can be differentiated according to the continuity in the perception of the work form. Gig workers seeing the work form as a transition phase in their vocational development can be distinguished from workers who have developed a mid- till long- term perspective in doing gig work. The classification of personas can be interpreted as a model of individual career paths in a highly volatile, new job environment, where new worker identities emerge.

    Crowdwork and employee commitment: new challenges for HRM
    (ToKnowPress, 2018) Konrad, Jonas; Pekruhl, Ulrich; Dermol, Valerij [in: Integrated economy and society: diversity, creativity and technology. Proceedings of the MakeLearn and TIIM International Conference, 16-18 May 2018, Naples, Italy]
    Crowdsourcing for paid labour (paid crowdsourcing) will fundamentally change the relationships between actors in the labour market. Employee-employer-relations are mediated by an internet service platform provider, immediate contact between both sides become limited. This does have crucial impacts on form and scope of employee commitment regarding both their jobs and the organization, they work for. Traditional HRM is facing the challenge to either overcome the problems of lacking employee commitment or to organize crowdsourcing in a way that fosters new forms of commitment.
