“…As a result, school nurses experienced little control over the substantive and extensive changes to their practice and workload (Best et al., 2023; Seo et al., 2023; Um & Choi, 2022). There is theoretical support in the literature to characterize isolation, experienced by school nurses as a loss of autonomy, and high workload as contributors to school nurses’ experiences of exhaustion, sleep disturbance, depression, stress, and anxiety (Bakker & Vries, 2020; Van Doninck et al., 2022). Furthermore, studies suggest that when isolation is perceived as purposeful exclusion, described as workplace ostracism, it contributes to job stress, particularly in settings of low job autonomy (Vui‐Yee & Yen‐Hwa, 2020).…”

BackgroundAs students returned to school, school nurses were responsible for infection control, communication, and the preparation of supplies and facilities. School nurses in the Pacific Northwest US demonstrated a higher prevalence of mental health symptoms in the years since the pandemic began, suggesting that their experience may have been unique.ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore the stressors of school nurses in the Pacific Northwest at two time points.DesignThis study is a qualitative, descriptive analysis of anonymous survey responses collected in June of 2021 (n = 333) and between October and December 2021 (n = 284).SampleSelf‐identifying school nurses working in K‐12 schools in Washington State were invited to participate.MeasurementsParticipants completed open‐ended survey questions designed to elicit their experiences during the pandemic.ResultsFour themes emerged from the data: (1) isolation from administration and the school community, (2) COVID‐19‐related workload, (3) disorganized and inconsistent communication, and (4) concern for students, themselves, and others.ConclusionsSchool nurses played a vital public health role during the pandemic. However, their effectiveness may not have been fully utilized and sometimes undermined. Lastly, our findings highlight the difficulties encountered in implementing the changing scientific and public health guidance during the pandemic.

“…The meaning and predictors of commitment are not universal but somewhat shaped by each culture's unique values and practices. Cross-cultural studies on organizational commitment have remained attractive, reflected with flowering investigations in various countries, including Canada (Sokal et al, 2021), Spain (Rodrí guez-Rad and Sá nchez del Rio-Vá zquez, 2023), Belgium (Van Doninck et al, 2022), Australia , Portugal (Vieira et al, 2023), China (To and Huang, 2022), Vietnam (Tran, 2022) and Thailand (Boonsiritomachai and Sud-On, 2021). In light of increasing globalization and the growing recognition of cultural influences on the workplace's social, cognitive, and attitudinal aspects, expanding research on organizational commitment to other cultural contexts is essential (Rajiani and Kot, 2020).…”

Organizational commitment (EOC) and employee loyalty are two critical constructs that contribute to organizational success. Understanding the intricate relationship between these factors is essential for organizations seeking to cultivate a loyal and committed workforce. This study delves into the mediating effect of EOC on employee loyalty, examining the mechanisms through which organizational culture fosters a loyal workforce. To investigate the mediating role of EOC, a sample of 300 employees from the Indonesian Port Corporation was surveyed. Path analysis, a statistical technique that assesses the strength and direction of relationships between multiple variables, was employed to test the study’s hypothesis. The findings revealed a strong association between organizational culture, EOC, and employee loyalty. Organizational culture dimensions, particularly teamwork, respect for individuals, stability, attention to detail, and outcome orientation, were positively related to EOC and employee loyalty. Furthermore, EOC was found to mediate the relationship between organizational culture and employee loyalty, indicating that EOC plays a crucial role in shaping employee loyalty within a supportive organizational culture context. These findings underscore the importance of fostering EOC to enhance employee loyalty and organizational success. Organizations seeking to cultivate a loyal workforce should create a supportive organizational culture that promotes teamwork, respect for individuals, stability, attention to detail, and outcome orientation. By nurturing these cultural traits, organizations can foster a strong sense of EOC among their employees, increasing employee loyalty, productivity, and organizational growth.
