“…Nevertheless, some scholars revealed that despite the dominant negative impacts of COVID-19, more positive behaviour and emotions gradually emerged as nurses adopted self-coping and self-reflection strategies that were fundamental to maintaining their mental health (Sun et al, 2020). Owing to the paradoxical nature of "extreme work", human resources management scholars have emphasised the importance of examining the consequences of the pandemic on various levels: micro-individual, meso-organisational and macro-societal, to fully capture its perceived effects of COVID-19 on nurses (Cui et al, 2022;Sun and Hennekam, 2021).…”

“…Given the heroism of nurses and the value of their profession (Li et al , 2021; Malinowska-Lipien et al , 2021a, 2021b), scholars have emphasised the importance of embracing a contextually sensitive and multi-dimensional approach in examining the perceived impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on health-care workers (Cui et al , 2022). Moreover, there is scant research on career commitment in the health-care sector (Hao et al , 2013; Yousaf et al , 2013), and a dearth of studies examining extreme jobs and contexts resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak (Hannah et al , 2019; Grima et al , 2020; Cai et al , 2020).…”

Purpose This paper aim to analyse the motives behind the commitment of nurses to their profession despite their intense job duties during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach The empirical sample comprises of 35 semi-structured interviews with public sector hospital nurses in under-researched contexts of Egypt and Peru. Findings Three types of motives were found to play a critical role in nurses’ commitment to their profession despite the difficulties associated with extreme work conditions. These factors include cultural (religious values, governmental coercion), contextual (limited education, organisational support) and personal (good nurse identity, submissive nature) dimensions. Originality/value This paper is one of the pioneering works to link existing literature streams on career commitment, extreme jobs, extreme context and management under disruptions (particularly COVID-19) by analysing these aspects in the under-researched Peruvian and Egyptian contexts.
