Abstract:
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of professional self-concept, job overload, and perceived organizational support on job involvement in clinical nurses. METHODS: The participants in this study were 232 nurses who were working in five general hospitals in city D. Data was collected using self-reported questionnaires from August 16 to September 15, 2016. The data was analyzed using the IBM SPSS 19.0 program. RESULTS: Job involvement of clinical nurses was influenced by professional self-concept, perceived organizational support, turnover intention, age, and monthly income. These variables explained 47.6% of job involvement of clinical nurses, and professional self-concept was the most significant factor in job involvement. CONCLUSION: The findings indicate that the job involvement of clinical nurses is influenced by professional self-concept and perceived organizational support. Consequently, it is necessary to increase professional self-concept and perceived organizational support for nurses' job involvement.
