Abstract

|
|
Purpose: This study was done to construct a hypothetical model to explain the factors influencing career commitment of nurses.
Methods: Three factors (individual internal-, job- and career-characteristics) and 8 sub-factors were measured with Likert scales. Data collection was conducted from Jan. 11 to 31, 2011 using self-report questionnaires. Participants (738 nurses) were selected from 6 hospitals in 2 metropolitan cities of South Korea. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS Window 16.0 and Amos 19.0.
Results: 1) Among the 3 factors, career commitment was most strongly influenced by career-characteristics. 2) Career commitment was influenced by organizational-career-management but not by personal-career-management. 3) Career commitment was influenced by individual internal-characteristics but not by job-characteristics. 4) Of the 8 sub-factors, career commitment was most strongly influenced by desire-for-growth but not by self-efficiency.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that in order to improve career commitment of nurses it is ecessary to implement custom-made career development policies considering individual characteristics in the organizational level.
