🏥 What makes expatriate nurses thrive in demanding work environments? 🌍

Our new study in JHOM examines the role of Psychological Capital (PsyCap) in the adjustment and performance of self-initiated expatriate nurses in Kuwait.

Findings: High PsyCap (resilience, self-efficacy, optimism & hope) acts as a key resource to navigate cultural and organizational challenges.

Self-initiated expatriate nurses in Kuwait: the positive role of psychological capital in facilitating their adjustment and performance

Purpose. This study examines the role of psychological capital (PsyCap) and motivation in the adjustment and performance of self-initiated expatriate (SIE) nurses in Kuwait's health system, where 95% of the nursing workforce is foreign. Unlike previous research that equates expatriate success solely with adjustment, this study also considers performance as a key outcome.Design/methodology/approach. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a convenience sample of 149 SIE nurses from a private Kuwaiti hospital. Data on PsyCap, motivation, adjustment, and performance were collected through an online survey. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used for analysis.Findings. The results indicate that PsyCap has a significant impact on adjustment, motivation, and performance. Furthermore, motivation mediates the relationship between PsyCap and performance. However, motivation does not significantly influence adjustment, nor does adjustment influence performance.Practical implications. To reduce turnover intentions among SIE nurses, hospitals should foster positive PsyCap in candidates and enhance it through training and supportive leadership, ultimately improving both adjustment and performance.Originality/value. This study underscores the pivotal role of PsyCap in enhancing both adjustment and performance among SIE nurses, as well as the mediating effect of motivation in the PsyCap-performance relationship. It also demonstrates that adjustment and performance are distinct dimensions of expatriate success.

New preprint: I got 400 postgrad health management students to use generative AI in an assessment, rather than banning its use. An honest write-up of what worked and what didn't.

https://osf.io/preprints/edarxiv/js6kw_v1

The good: most students found it valuable. The structured scaffolding helped reduce anxiety for for adult learners who'd previously been told never to use AI for any assessments.

The less good: most students engaged instrumentally (Which tool is best? How do I prompt?) rather than critically (Which perspectives does this privilege? What are the equity implications? What is this missing?). A single assessment can help normalise AI engagement but probably can't develop deeper critical AI literacy on its own.

If you're designing courses this year and wrestling with AI integration, I hope the case study and design principles we lay out are useful. It's a preprint - feedback welcome.
