Purpose: The study aimed to identify influencing factors associated with the organizational commitment (OC) among hospital nurses.
Methods: A descriptive correlational design was utilized. The subjects of this study were 447 female nurses working for over 6 months in Seoul. The study was based on the data from a self- reported survey using structured questionnaires. The data were collected from September 10 to 30, 2009 and analyzed using Pearson¡¯s correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression analysis.
Results: The mean score of the OC was 2.45, slightly higher than the intermediate level. The mean score of the three-dimensional domain among the OC, affective commitment (AC) was 2.50, continuance commitment (CC) was 2.59, and normative commitment (NC) was 2.29. The influencing factors of nurses¡¯ AC were perceived organizational support (POS) (¥â=.31, p<.001), supervisory trust, job burnout, nursing professionalism, and age, which accounted for 49.7%. The influencing factors of the CC were supervisory trust (¥â=.20, p<.001), POS, and job burnout whereas the influencing factors of the NC were POS (¥â=.40, p<.001), supervisory trust, nursing professionalism, and job burnout.
Conclusion: It is necessary to develop supportive strategies that increase OC, which also improve the POS, nursing professionalism, and supervisory trust, and alleviate job burnout in hospital nurses.
