Abstract:
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to explore the clear concept of organizational commitment for effective nursing personnel management. METHOD: This study was conducted using Walker & Avant's conceptual analysis framework(2005). RESULTS: Organizational commitment was identified with six attributes: acknowledgment, acceptance, trust, sacrifice, attachment, regulation. Antecedents of organizational commitment were personal characteristics, perceived organizational support, empowerment, fair compensation, job satisfaction, job autonomy, organizational culture, and leadership. Consequences of organizational commitment were turnover intention, job performance and organizational citizenship behavior. CONCLUSION: Organization commitment is a core concept for understanding the management of nursing personnel. Appropriate instruments to operationalize the concept of organizational commitment including six attributes need to be developed.
