The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate the determinants of occupational commitment of hospital nurses. For this study, a causal model of occupational commitment of hospital nurses was constructed based on the exchange theory. The sample of this study consisted of 329 nurses from 5 general hospitals located in Seoul and south-eastern area of Korea. Data were collected with self-administered questionnaires and analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression. It was found that four task reward variable (variety, significance, workload and resource inadequacy), one social reward variable (supervisory support) and two organizational reward variables(promotional chances and pay) had significant net effect on hospital nurses’ occupational commitment. The implications of these findings were discussed and the suggestions for future research were advanced.
