INTRODUCTION: Organizational Commitment (OC) is considered a crucial link between an organization and its employees, significantly impacting satisfaction, performance, productivity, and professional investment. OBJECTIVE: To assess organizational commitment among nursing professionals and technicians in a hospital in southern Chile between 2022 and 2023. METHODOLOGY: This was a cross-sectional study involving a sample of 305 staff members. Data collection utilized Meyer and Allen's (1991) Organizational Commitment tool, employing a 5-point Likert scale where 1 signifies "completely disagree" and 5 indicates "completely agree." Analysis encompassed descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTS: The instrument demonstrated sound internal consistency, supported by Cronbach's alpha. Observed OC tended towards a "neutral or indifferent" stance with a leaning towards "agreement" on the Likert scale. Affective Commitment (AC) exhibited higher levels compared to other domains. Normative Commitment (NC) among technical-level employees were robust, and particularly notable among divorced and widowed staff. Continuance Commitment (CC) emerged as the domain with the lowest average. AC showed an increase with age. CONCLUSIONS: Staff exhibited a moderate level of organizational commitment with a propensity towards a higher level, suggesting the need to reinforce the emotional bond between employees and the organization to positively influence the quality of care provided.

Socialización organizacional y salud mental positiva ocupacional como predictores del compromiso organizacional en docentes de educación superior / Organizational socialization and positive occupational mental health as predictors of organizational commitment in higher education teachers

Resumen El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar el carácter predictivo de la socialización organizacional y la salud mental positiva ocupacional sobre el compromiso organizacional en docentes de educación superior. Se contó con una muestra de 279 docentes de instituciones de educación superior que firmaron un consentimiento informado. El 54.5 % de los participantes eran mujeres, con una media de edad de 44.05 años (DE = 10.26). Los participantes respondieron el Inventario de Socialización Organizacional (ISO), el Cuestionario de Salud Mental Positiva Ocupacional (SMPO) y la Escala de Compromiso Organizacional (CO), y para el análisis de datos se aplicaron estadísticos descriptivos, un análisis de correlación y una regresión lineal múltiple con método de pasos sucesivos, ingresando por separado cada dimensión del compromiso organizacional como variable dependiente. Como resultado, se identificaron correlaciones de moderadas a débiles entre las variables de estudio, y se encontró que los modelos finales indican que las dimensiones de perspectivas de futuro y socioafectiva predicen en un 38 % el compromiso afectivo; que las perspectivas de futuro, la espiritualidad y la edad predicen en un 22.8 % el compromiso normativo; y que la dimensión perspectivas de futuro predice en un 9.2 % el compromiso de continuidad. Concluimos que las expectativas del docente sobre su desarrollo en la institución, así como sus interacciones a nivel socioafectivo y espiritual con el contexto laboral, son factores que influyen parcialmente en su vinculación con la organización educativa.

Abstract This study aimed to determine the predictive character of organizational socialization and occupational positive mental health on organizational commitment in higher education teachers. A sample of 279 teachers from higher education institutions who signed an informed consent form was used. Fifty-four point five percent of the participants were women, with a mean age of 44.05 years (SD = 10.26). The participants completed the Organizational Socialization Inventory (ISO), the Positive Occupational Mental Health Questionnaire (SMPO) and the Organizational Commitment Scale (OC), and for data analysis descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple linear regression with stepwise method were applied, entering each dimension of organizational commitment separately as a dependent variable. As a result, moderate to weak correlations were identified between the study variables, and it was found that the final models indicate that the future perspectives and socio-affective dimensions predict affective commitment by 38%; that future perspectives, spirituality and age predict normative commitment by 22.8%; and that the future perspectives dimension predicts commitment of continuity by 9.2%. It is concluded that teachers' expectations about their development in the institution, as well as their interactions at the socio-affective and spiritual level with the work context, are factors that partially influence their attachment to the educational organization.

Articulación trabajo-familia y satisfacción laboral: El rol del compromiso afectivo / Work-family interface and job satisfaction: The role of affective commitment

Resumen Objetivo :el objetivo de la presente investigación fue analizar si alguno de los tipos de compromiso organizacional mediaba la relación entre la articulación trabajo-familia y la satisfacción laboral. Método :para ello, se diseñó un estudio empírico, cuantitativo y transversal, enmarcado en los lineamientos de la estrategia asociativa-explicativa. La medición de las variables de interés se llevó a cabo con una batería compuesta por instrumentos validados al contexto y que cuentan con adecuadas propiedades psicométricas. Se trabajó con una muestra no probabilística, por conveniencia, de 376 empleados (191 varones y 185 mujeres) de organizaciones del sector terciario, dada su importancia en el mundo actual del trabajo. Resultados :los resultados indicaron que el compromiso afectivo media parcialmente las relaciones entre las dimensiones del constructo articulación trabajo-familia (enriquecimiento y conflicto) y la satisfacción laboral. Este tipo de compromiso se erige como un constructo mediacional entre la satisfacción laboral y las posibilidades de articular las demandas de las distintas esferas vitales. Tal mecanismo puede ser explicado a la luz de la teoría del estrés de rol y de la teoría del intercambio social. Conclusiones :estos hallazgos pueden resultar de interés a la hora de diseñar prácticas de gerenciamiento amigables con la familia que posibiliten retener el talento humano y aumentar los lazos afectivos de los empleados con la organización.

Abstract Objective :this research was to analyze if any of the types of organizational commitment mediated the relationship between work-family interface and job satisfaction. To that end, an empirical, quantitative and cross-sectional study was designed, framed within the guidelines of an associative-explanatory approach. Method :the study variables were measured using a set of validated instruments with adequate psychometric properties. The study population consisted of a non-probabilistic convenience sample of 376 workers (191 males and 185 females) from third-sector organizations, due to their importance in the current working world. Results :the results showed that affective commitment partially mediates the relationships between the dimensions work-family interface (enrichment and conflict) and job satisfaction. This type of commitment emerges as a mediational construct between job satisfaction and the possibilities of dealing with the demands from different vital spheres. Such mechanism may be explained through the role stress theory and the social exchange theory. Conclusions :these findings might be useful when it comes to designing family- friendship policies in order to retain human talent and promote affective bonds between employees and organizations.

Satisfacción Laboral en el Docente Dominicano: Antecedentes Laborales / Job Satisfaction of the Dominican Teacher: Labor Background / Satisfação Profissional no Docente Dominicano: Antecedentes Profissionais

Resumen La satisfacción laboral del colectivo docente ha sido estudiada desde diversas perspectivas, debido a los importantes efectos que esta puede tener tanto a nivel económico como a nivel organizacional. La muestra empleada en este trabajo se compone de 978 docentes dominicanos, y fue obtenida mediante un muestreo estratificado, y, por tanto, representativo de la población. En este estudio se examina un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales en el cual el contexto de trabajo y las condiciones laborales afectan el burnout y el engagement de los profesores. A su vez, se plantea que burnout y engagement afectan la satisfacción laboral docente. El modelo ajustó a los datos: x2(223)= 1089.9, p<.001; CFI=.93; RMSEA=.066; SRMR=.107. Los resultados arrojan luz sobre los factores contextuales del plano educativo que pudieran replantearse en el desarrollo de futuras políticas educativas.

Abstract The job satisfaction of the teachers' collective has been studied from various perspectives due to the significant effect it can have at both the economic and organizational levels. The sample used for this study was made up of 978 Dominican teachers, obtained through stratified sampling so that it would be representative of the population. An analysis of a structural equations model shows that work context and labor conditions affect the burnout and engagement of teachers. The study suggests that both burnout and engagement affect the job satisfaction of teachers. The model fits the data: x2(223)=1089.9, p<.001; CFI=.93; RMSEA=.066; SRMR=.107. The results shed light on the contextual factors of the educational field that could be reformulated in the development of future education policies.

Relación del Bienestar Subjetivo de los trabajadores con su Compromiso hacia la organización / The relationship of the Subjective Wellbeing of the Workers with their Commitment towards the Organization

Resumen El compromiso organizacional (CO) de los trabajadores es entendido como una actitud o estado de ánimo que deriva en comportamientos como la intención de permanecer en la organización, la identificación con sus valores y la percepción de tener una deuda moral con la misma por los beneficios recibidos. Estudios previos muestran que el CO impacta positivamente el bienestar subjetivo de los trabajadores (BS), entendido este último como la evaluación cognitiva y afectiva que hacen las personas de la satisfacción sobre su propia vida. Otros estudios afirman que es el BS el que predice el CO. El objetivo del presente estudio fue especificar la dirección de esta relación, para lo cual se aplicó el Instrumento de Compromiso Organizacional para evaluar el CO y el módulo básico del Bienestar Autorreportado (BIARE) para evaluar el BS, a 230 trabajadores de una organización educativa pública de nivel superior en México. Mediante modelos de ecuaciones estructurales se contrastaron las hipótesis de relaciones en uno y otro sentido entre ambas variables con una tercera hipótesis con relaciones recíprocas entre ambas. Se identificó como mejor modelo el que presenta relaciones recíprocas y positivas entre el CO y el BS (Chi2=21.16; gl=16; p=0.172; RMR=.043; GFI=.976; CFI=.991; RMSEA=0.03 [IC 90%= 0.00, 0.07]). Se concluye que un incremento en el CO genera un incremento en el BS de los trabajadores, y la relación positiva entre ambas variables es recíproca. Se discuten las implicaciones de estos resultados para la relación de los trabajadores con su contexto laboral.

Abstract The organizational employee commitment conceptualizes the intention to remain in the work place, as the identification of corporative values and the moral sense of engagement due to the benefits received, under the name of organizational commitment (OC). Previous studies show that OC positively affects the subjective well-being of workers (SW), understood as the cognitive and affective assessment that people make of their own life satisfaction. Other studies state that the effect goes from SW to OC. This study aimed to specify the direction of this relationship, for this purpose OC and SW instruments were applied to 230 workers of a higher education public organization in Mexico. Using structural equation models, the hypothesis of relations in both directions between the two variables was contrasted with a third hypothesis of reciprocal relationships between both. The best model was identified as having positive and reciprocal relationships between CO and BS (Chi2 = 65,627, df = 18, p = 0.000, RMR = .074, RMSEA = .111 [CI 90%= .083, .141]; GFI = .931; CFI = .915). It is concluded that increases in OC strengthen SW, and positive relationship between both variables is reciprocal. The implications of the findings on workers´ relationships in the work place are discussed.

Investigation of relationships among nurse work environment, organizational commitment and intent to stay / 中华医院管理杂志

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.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to identify the types of adult attachment and determine the relationship between adult attachment and job factors in dental hygienists. Ultimately, it was necessary to identify the need for a secure attachment to improve the quality of clinical dental hygienist's services. METHODS: Data of 454 clinical dental hygienists working in dental hospitals or clinics were collected. The research tools consisted of items related to the general and work characteristics of dental hygienists (9 items), adult attachment styles (36 items), organizational commitments (12 items), occupational stress (15 items), and interpersonal relations (18 items). Cronbach's α of each tool was ≥0.7. RESULTS: Most of the participants had fearful attachment styles, followed by dismissing-avoidance, security, and preoccupation. Security was the highest level of organizational commitment according to the adult attachment style, although the differences of the levels were insignificant. For occupational stress, preoccupation was the highest, followed by fearful, security, and dismissing-avoidance, and the differences were significant (p<0.001). For interpersonal relations, security was the highest, followed by preoccupation, dismissing-avoidance, and fearful in order, and the differences were significant (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Job stress and interpersonal relation ability according to the adult attachment style of clinical dental hygienists had significant results. Thus, the development of attachment improvement programs by personal style, development of differentiated clinical education and its application, and improvements in the adult attachment styles of clinical dental hygienists would be required rather than simply presenting the needs to collectively improvement the working environment.

The Effect of Appreciative Inquiry on Positive Psychological Capital and Organizational Commitment of New Nurses / 중환자간호학회지

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine whether appreciative inquiry (AI) is an effective intervention for increasing the positive psychological capital and organizational commitment of new nurses.METHOD: The study used a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The participants were 60 new nurses in a tertiary hospital in Seoul. The experimental group received 2 classes of AI education and in-unit AI activities. The control group received the existing education program.RESULTS: There was no statistically significant difference in the positive psychological capital and organizational commitment between the experimental group and the control group over time. Satisfaction with the AI education scored 3.69, which was higher than the average. The reason why the experimental group members were satisfied with the program was that AI education helped them to adapt and the in-unit AI activities made staff more cooperative and the atmosphere of the unit more positive.CONCLUSION: When applying AI activities to new nurses to promote positive psychological capital and organizational commitment, it is necessary to provide a workshop in which the participants can fully concentrate on education and to extend the period of use to one year in order to maintain the effect of AI activities.

Perceived social support and presenteeism among healthcare workers in China: the mediating role of organizational commitment

OBJECTIVES@#We assessed the role of social support in presenteeism by examining organizational commitment among Chinese healthcare workers.@*METHODS@#One thousand four hundred thirty-four healthcare workers from 6 hospitals in 4 Chinese cities completed a questionnaire measuring presenteeism, social support, and organizational commitment. With organizational commitment as the mediator, regression analyses and structural equation modeling were used to test the model.@*RESULTS@#Organizational commitment was directly inversely associated with presenteeism (β = - 0.42, p 0.05). The correlation between supervisor support and coworker support was significant (β = 0.71, p <0.001). Supervisor support and coworker support were significantly positively associated with organizational commitment (β = 0.41, p < 0.001, and β = 0.14, p < 0.001, respectively).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Supervisor support was more important in promoting organizational commitment, while coworker support was more effective in reducing presenteeism. The mediating effect of organizational commitment was significant.
