Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Nursing and health Science - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Organizational commitment is the important determinant of organizational change. This research was designed to examine the impact on attitudes against change of the commitment status of nurses.The research data were collected with the Information Form, the Organizational Commitment Scale (OCS) and the Attitude Against Change Scale (AACS), completed by 279 nurses working in a university hospital and two state hospitals. The analysis of data was carried out using the statistical program.The nurses' score average obtained from the OCS was 3.09±0.53, and the organizational commitment of the nurses was found to be at medium level. The nurses' score average obtained from the AACS was 60.40±11.79, and the nurses’ attitudes against change were positive. It was found that the relationship between organizational commitment and attitude against change is statistically positive (p<0.01).Organizational commitment was identified as a contributor to attitude against change. Future research is suggested to determine other variables that explain attitude against change.Nurse managers should take into account that organizational commitment affects the process of change, and applications and policies to enhance organizational commitment must be developed.
