Background: Emergency room nurses often experience high levels of stress and emotional exhaustion due to the fast-paced and high-stakes nature of their work. Understanding the psychological traits that buffer against burnout and enhance job performance is essential for promoting resilience in this critical workforce.
Aim: This study examined the effects of grit and subjective risk intelligence on job performance and burnout among emergency nurses and explored whether social cooperation moderates these relationships.
Study design: A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted with 172 emergency nurses from two public hospitals. Data were collected via self-administered questionnaires. Regression and moderation analyses using Hayes’ Process model were applied to test the hypotheses.
Results: Grit (specifically consistency of interest) and a positive attitude toward uncertainty were positively associated with job performance and negatively associated with burnout. Social cooperation significantly moderated the relationship between consistency of interest and job performance. However, its moderating role was limited across other variables.
Conclusions: Grit and subjective risk intelligence play significant roles in enhancing performance and reducing burnout among emergency nurses. Social cooperation can further strengthen the impact of grit on work outcomes, though its overall moderating
effect may be context-dependent.
Relevance to clinical practice: Fostering psychological traits such as grit and risk intelligence in emergency nurses can support sustainable performance and emotional resilience. Nursing managers should consider incorporating psychological resilience training and team-based support structures into workforce development strategies.
Impact statement: Psychological traits like grit and risk intelligence reduce burnout and improve performance among emergency nurses through social cooperation.
