Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the effective factors of organizational commitment among hospital nurses. Method: The subjects were 250 registered nurses working in 3 hospitals in Busan. Data were obtained by self-reported questionnaires from the 10th of June to 30th of June, 2009. Data were analyzed by frequency and percentage, t-test, ANOVA and Sheffe's test and stepwise multiple regression. Result: Mean of job satisfaction was $60.56{\pm}9.25$ (range of scale: 20-100), internal marketing was 69.49 (range of scale: 25-125), job stress obtained $100.60{\pm}17.93$ (range of scale: 45-180), and organizational commitment got $47.78{\pm}6.84$ (range of scale: 15-75). The extent of the organizational commitment had differences according to the age (F=3.300, p=.039), educational level (F=3.21, p=.042), religion (F=3.30, p=.021), position (F=5.837, p=.003), and career length (F=2.642, p=.035). The influencing factors in organizational commitment of hospital nurses were job satisfaction, internal marketing, and age. $R^2$=.503. The job satisfaction has the highest significant predictor of organizational commitment. Conclusion: The influencing factors on organizational commitment were job satisfaction, internal marketing and age. Thus it is needed to improve the job satisfaction and internal marketing of hospitals' nurses and to provide care and support to younger nurses.
