Abstract:
Purpose:This study aimed to identify the influence of nursing practice environment, teamwork, and generational conflict within organizations on organizational commitment among hospital nurses.
Methods:Data were collected from June 12 to August 14, 2024, from 190 nurses at five hospitals, including general hospitals located in B city, U city, and Y city. Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé’s test, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS/WIN 28.0 were used to analyze the collected data.
Results:The level of organizational commitment was positively correlated with nursing practice environment (r=.63, p<.001) and teamwork (r=.48, p<.001) and negatively correlated with generational conflict within the organization (r=-.16,p=.028). Organizational commitment was significantly affected by nursing practice environment (β=.50, p<.001),teamwork (β=.21, p=.001), and clinical career (β=-.16, p=.004).
Conclusion:These findings indicate that nursing practice environment, teamwork, and clinical career are associated with organizational commitment. Therefore, to enhance hospital nurses’ organizational commitment, interventions and policies should be developed to increase nurses’ teamwork and improve nursing practice environments at the hospital level.
