Purpose: This study was done to identify the influence of nursing work environment and social support on multidimensional organizational commitment among nurses.
Methods: The survey was conducted in August 2012 with self-report questionnaire. Participants were 480 registered nurses working in one general hospital. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression using SPSS/WIN(16.0).
Results: The average scores were; for affective commitment 2.84, for continuance commitment 2.48, and for normative commitment 2.57. There were significant relationships between affective, continuance, normative commitment and sub-factors of nursing work environment and social support. The affective, continuance, and normative commitment were all influenced by ¡¯staffing and resource adequacy¡¯ and ¡¯nursing foundations for quality of care¡¯, sub-factors of nursing work environment. Distinctively, affective commitment was influenced by ¡¯staffing and resource adequacy¡¯, nurses¡¯ age, ¡¯nurse-doctor relations¡¯, ¡¯supervisor¡¯s emotional support¡¯, ¡¯nurse participation in hospital affairs¡¯, ¡¯nursing foundations for quality of care¡¯, and ¡¯supervisor¡¯s informational support¡¯, which explained 30.9% of variance in affective commitment(F=31.57, p<.001).
Conclusion: The findings show that programs which promote supervisors¡¯ emotional and informational support are important to enhance nurses¡¯ affective commitment. Also, it is necessary to improve nursing work environment to improve nurses¡¯ organizational commitment.
