Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating effect of psychological empowerment (PE) in the relationship between nursing work environment (NWE) and job involvement (JI) of nurses in operating rooms of small- and medium- hospitals. Subjects were 150 nurses in operating rooms of 24 small- and medium- hospitals nationwide, and data were collected from July to September 2018 using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients and multiple regression. As a result of the study, JI was positively correlated with NWE or PE, PE was positively correlated with NWE. PE was found to partially mediate the effect of NWE on JI. In order to help nurses in small- and medium-sized hospital operating rooms to positively recognize the NWE and immerse themselves in the job, it is necessary to develop convergence program to increase PE.
