Abstract
Background: Nursing shortage is a major global concern about healthcare. In this regard, nurses’ organizational commitment is an important issue that should be focused on. Since limited data are available about the factors associated with nurse organizational commitment, further research is needed.
Aim: This study aimed to examine the influence of job satisfaction and work environment on the organizational commitment of nurses.
Design: A predictive design was employed.
Methods: The sample comprised 595 nurses at a university hospital in Turkey. A hierarchical regression analysis applied to analyze the data.
Results: Significant predictors identified as “self-realization”, “nurses’ participation in management and representative power”, “nurse managers’ attitudes and leadership qualities”, “general quality”, and “communication among physicians, nurses and colleagues”.
Conclusion: The development of strategies for increasing job satisfaction among nurses and creating positive work environments may lead administrators to increase organizational commitment in helping to the problem of nursing shortage.
