The study participants are nurses who work at three general hospitals in M City, who used structured questionnaires to list 214 people from July 17 to August 7, 2017. Analysis of the collected data was carried out using SPSS WIN 21.0. and M plus 7.00 to analyze latent classes depending on the type of nursing managers' leadership. This study showed that the type of nursing managers' leadership has in analyzing latent classes influences nurses' job performance and turnover intention. Because there is a strong influence on the job performance and the turnover intention so that nurses can be highly aware of transformation-transaction-emotion leadership, the managers of the nursing organization need to foster effective leadership. Training programs are needed to improve nurses' job performance through transformational, transactional, and emotional leadership, and to foster nursing manager's leadership skills to better reflect the turnover intention.

Purpose : The purpose of the present study was to examine the causal relationships among head nurses' leadership (consideration oriented leadership, structure initiated leadership), nursing unit culture (human development culture, task development culture), and nurses' organizational commitment. Method : Four large general hospitals located in and around Seoul were selected to participate. The total sample of 286 registered nurses represents a response rate of 90 percent. Data for this study was collected from August to September in 2000 by questionnaire. Path analyses with LISREL program were used to test the fit of the proposed model to the data and to examine the causal relationships among variables. Result : Both the proposed model and the modified model fit the data adequately. The model revealed relatively high explanatory power. 52% of human development culture was explained by predicted variables and 44% of task development was explained by predicted variables; 47% of the organizational commitment was explained by predicted variables. In predicting developmental (both human and task) nursing unit culture, the findings of this study clearly demonstrated that head nurses' consideration oriented leadership might be the most important variable. The result also showed that head nurses' consideration oriented leadership might be the most important variable among the predicted variables in predicting organizational commitment. Conclusion : Based on the findings of this study, it was suggested that various studies, for example, matching leadership and nursing unit culture, were needed.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationships among job characteristics, knowledge sharing, organizational culture, and organizational commitment in occupational health nurses (OHN) and clinical nurses (CN) to identify factors that might influence organizational commitment. It aimed to contribute to the improvement of knowledge management in health care organizations, including industrial workplaces and hospitals. Methods: A convenience sample of 188 nurses, specifically 100 OHN and 88 CN, was selected. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-tests, correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis. Results: OHNs had a significantly higher education level and current work experience; higher proportion of participants with contract employment status, day work shift, less turnover experience, good lifestyle; and higher scores on organizational culture ($3.3{\pm}0.61$) and organizational commitment ($3.1{\pm}0.60$). Additionally, the correlations among organizational commitment, job characteristics, knowledge sharing, and organizational culture ware higher (r=.38~.57) among OHNs as compared to those among CNs. Further, the organizational commitment of OHNs was significantly influenced by knowledge sharing, organizational culture, working hours, and salary ($R^2=.32$), while that of CNs was influenced by organizational culture and life event stress ($R^2=.11$). Conclusion: There is a need to develop measures to enable nurses to contribute to the improvement of knowledge management in health care organizations as major human resources, by including interventions for the major factors leading to between-group differences in organizational performance.

This descriptive study is aimed at examining the effects of the person-environment fit of general hospital nurses on organizational commitment and career commitment. Data was collected by conducting a questionnaire survey of nurses in four general hospitals in Gyeongnam from February to March 2023, and 210 responses were analyzed using the statistical software SPSS 21. The research results are as follows: Person-job fit and person-organization fit were found to be significant influencing factors on organizational commitment, with an explanatory power of 48.5%. For career commitment, person-job fit, person-organization fit, and person-supervisor fit of the person-environment fit all emerged as significant influencing factors, with an explanatory power of 57.5%. Since person-organization fit has the highest impact on both organizational commitment and career commitment, nursing managers should prioritize the consideration of relevant factors in personnel management.

To recruit nurses with skills, the hospital must evaluate the skills of the applicants. But objective evaluation of the skills is a difficult. Many hospitals are using written examination or oral test only and are not testing the nursing skills directly when they recruit new nurses. OSCE(Objective Structured Clinical Examination) is a method developed for the evaluation of clinical skills objectively. In this study, 16/20 nurse managers of one university-affiliate hospital were assembled for the project of developing 7 OSCE modules by themselves, and then they ran OSCE using those modules for 40 nursing students. They scored nursing skills of the students using checklists they designed. The whole process was proceeded phase by phase using step-wise approach model. The project was successful; inter-personal consistency of the scores were high; nurse managers became confident in objective skill evaluation; subjective responses for this project were favorable. The hospital adopted OSCE in recruitment process thereafter. This experience might be applied to other hospitals who want to recruit nurses with skills.

The purpose of this study is to verify trust in supervisor, customer badness behavior have turnover intention influence on job embeddedness. Self-report questionnaire was completed by 188 clinical nurse May 1st to May 30th, 2016. and date analyzed using the IBM SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. As a result, The mean score of trust in supervisor is 3.20 points, customer badness behavior is 2.66 points, job embeddedness is 3.05 points, turnover intention is 3.39 points(out of 5). There were significant positive correlations between job embeddedness and trust in supervisor(r=.57, p<.001) and turnover intention(r=.19, p=.011) and negative correlations between Sacrifice sub-cale of job embeddedness and customer badness behavior(r=-.15, p=.037). The convergence factors with the effect on job embeddedness, trust in supervisor(${\beta}=.471$, p<.001), job satisfaction(${\beta}=.226$, p<.001), turnover intention(${\beta}=-.196$, p<.001), nursing satisfaction(${\beta}=-.169$, p=.005) explained 48.9% of the job embeddedness. therefore, nursing managers have to strategy increasing nurse trust in supervisor and job satisfaction and nursing satisfaction for job embeddedness and plan to lower the turnover intention at the organization level.
