Abstract:
Objective To investigate the status of the nurse work environment, organizational commitment and intent to stay, and explore the relationships among them, ultimately provide some references for the managers. Methods 1 168 registered nurses were recruited from seven hospitals in Zhejiang province. They were investigated with Nursing Work Environment Scale, Organizational Commitment Scale and Intent to Stay Scale. Multiple regression analysis utilized the intent to stay of nurses as the dependent variable, and the demographic data, the dimensions of work environment and dimensions of organizational commitment as the independent variables. Results The mean scores of work environment, organizational commitment and intent to stay were 2.78 ± 0.39, 2.42 ± 0.43, 3.30 ± 0.67, respectively. Among nurse work environment, organizational commitment and intent to stay,there was a significant positive correlation between any two of them. Duty, affective commitment, position of work, sufficient manpower and resources, normative commitment, leadership and ability of manager, gender, shift, housing condition (rent house), employment nature and education are the main factors for the intent to stay, which can explain 40.3% of the variations of nurse retention. Conclusions The results of the study showed that the nurse work environment and intent to work of the 1168 registered nurses were at a medium level, and the organization′s commitment was at a lower-middle level. Managers can refer to the factors affecting the intent of nurses to stay, develop retention strategies, and increase their intent to stay.
