Methods: Data obtained from the questionnaire survey conducted with 193 nurses were analyzed by means of t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient and Multiple Regression. Results: Empathic competence, in accordance with the general characteristics of nurses, displayed statistically significant differences in terms of final academic background. Further, occupational stress and ego-resilience displayed statistically significant differences related to the nurses' department of employment, age, and total clinical experiences, respectively. Empathic competence and ego-resilience have a significant positive correlation, and age and empathic competence were found to be the factors that impart influence on ego-resilience. Conclusion: The enhancement of empathic competence of nurses has affirmative effects on the satisfaction of patients with their nurses, and it also improves the ego-resilience of nurses. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and apply career training program aimed at enhancing the empathic competence of nurses as an in-service educational program.

The data were collected from 23th, August, 2016 to 15th, September using self-report, strutured questionnaires. The data were analyzed through ANOVA, t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression with SPSS 20.0. The results showed emotional labor, ego-resilience on organizational commitment averaged 3.80(out of 4), 2.81(out of 4), 3.86(out of 5). In terms of correlations, there was found to be a significant positive correlation between organizational commitment and ego-resilience(r=.418, p<.01) and negative correlation between organizational commitment and emotional labor(r=.309, p<.001). Age(${\beta}=.215$, p<.037), working department(${\beta}=-.209$, p<.011), emotional labor(${\beta}=.334$, p<.001), ego-resilience(${\beta}=.162$, p<.030) was largely influential in organizational commitment. The regression model explained 21.3% of organizational commitment. This study showed that organizational commitment of nurse was correlated with emotional labor and ego-resilience. On basis of these results, in order to increase organizational commitment on nurses, it is necessary to recognize the importance of emotional labor and ego-resilience, develop and adapt program reducing emotional labor, also increasing ego-resilience.
