Abstract

|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test the empowerment structural model based on Kanter’s work empowerment theory.
Method: A predictive, nonexperimental design was used in a sample of 279 nurses from 3 university affiliated hospitals. Data were collected with self-administered questionnaires and analyzed using mean, standard deviation, pearson correlation coefficient and path analysis.
Results: The results showed that the overall fitness of the hypothethical model to the data was good(chi-square=.7751, df=4, p=.942, GFI=.999, AGFI=.996, RMSEA=.000). Both formal power and informal power directly influenced on nurses’ perceived empowerment level and empowerment directly influenced on nurses’ organizational commitment and indirectly influenced on nurses’ intent to stay.
Conclusion: The results imply that hospital and nurse managers should provide the empowering working condition for nurses to be stayed in hospitals.
