Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study aims to investigate the relationship between self leadership (SL) and nurses’ organizational commitment (NOC) with psychological empowerment (PE) as a mediator using a sample of 157 nurses from healthcare organizations in Pusan in Korea. The study also looked at SL as antecedents to PE, and PE(meaning, competence, self-determination, and impact) as antecedents to NOC. The scales were proven to have reliability through the results based on Wortzel’s idea (1979) arguing that the result is highly reliable if the Cronbach α value is between .70 and .98. The results show that SL is positively related to NOC while PE also produces some significant moderating effects on the relationship between SL and NOC. An important implication of this study’s findings is, consequently, that SL should be positively enhanced for the purpose of increasing the level of NOC through using the mediating role of PE.
