Abstract:
Purpose:This study aimed to identify factors influencing organizational commitment among male nurses in Korea.
Methods:This study was conducted from July to September, 2018. Data were collected from 166 male nurses whom worked for more than 6 months in secondary or tertiary hospitals in Korea. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression.
Results:Organizational commitment showed significant differences in age (t = -4.69, p < 0.001), marital status (t = -2.95, p = 0.004), total nursing career (F = 4.91, p = 0.003), total career in the present hospital (F = 4.98, p = 0.002), total career in the present department (F = 5.47, p = 0.001), affiliation in the hospital (t = 2.28, p = 0.024) and annual average income (t = -2.55, p = 0.012). Organizational commitment correlated positively with gender role conflict (r = 0.28, p < 0.001) and job satisfaction (r = 0.21, p = 0.008). The major factors influencing organizational commitment were identified as gender role conflict (B = 0.11, p < 0.001), job satisfaction (B = 0.29, p < 0.001) and age (B = 4.77, p = 0.018), which explains 23% of the variance in organizational commitment.
Conclusion:The factors identified in this study which influenced organizational commitment in male nurses, could be used to assign nursing tasks and rotations. Interventional or education programs may be prepared to improve organizational commitment of male nurses.
