ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of resilience and job satisfaction on organizational commitment in Korean-American registered nurses. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a structured questionnaire survey with 203 Korean-American registered nurses living in New York State and New Jersey State. Data were collected from May 8 to August 25, 2012. Collected data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test and hierarchical multiple regression. RESULTS: The mean organizational commitment of Korean-American registered nurses was 3.34+/-0.59 out of a possible 5.00. The resilience and job satisfaction were significant variables predicting the level of organizational commitment among Korean-American registered nurses, accounting for 50% of the variability. CONCLUSION: The results of the study indicate that it is necessary to identify factors influencing job satisfaction and develop programs to strengthen personal resilience in order to increase organizational commitment.
