ABSTRACT=Aim： To test a moderated mediation model that focuses on job resources mediates the relationship between organizational climate and nurse engagement in long-term care facility and emotional intelligence moderates this mediated relationship.
Background: The shortage of nurses is a global problem，especially in long-term care facilities. We integrate and extend past research exploring the influence of nurse engagement in long-term care facilities and constructed a model of nurse engagement in long-term care facilities.
Method： Cross-sectional data were collected from a sample of 494 nurses who completed measures of work engagement, organizational climate, job resources, and emotional intelligence.
Results： The results showed that organizational climate increased work engagement among nurses directly and indirectly via job resources. Moreover, emotional intelligence plays moderation role between organizational climate and job resources.
Conclusion： These results revealed that a good organizational climate and job resources enable nurses to be more engaged in work，besides, nurses with high emotional intelligence can make better use of resources and improve their engagement.
