Professional Self-Concept and Organizational Socialization of New Nurse

The Effect of New Nurses’ Clinical Competence on Career Adaptation

“…In this study, the average career adaptability perceived by the new nurses was 3.00 points, and it was similar to the results obtained in previous studies: 3.03 points in the study of Kim and Yoo [26] and 3.20 points in the study of Kwak and Kwon [15]. In the subcategories of career adaptability, burnout and organizational commitment were higher with more than 3 points whereas job performance was the lowest with 2.11 points.…”

“…In this study, burnout and organizational commitment in the subcategories of career adaptability resulted in higher scores and such results were similar to the outcome of the study conducted by Han et al [27] that reported organizational commitment and burnout as the most important factors affecting the turnover of new nurses. In addition, job performance had the lowest scores in the subcategories of career adaptability, and it was similar to the results of the study conducted by Kwak and Kwon [15]. These were in line with the results reported in the study of Ji and Kim [23] that the most important factor affecting the turnover of new nurses with less than seven months of work experience was functional nursing competence; however, for new nurses with more than seven months of career duration, the most important factor was organizational commitment.…”

“…In particular, developing professional and legal implementation was shown to have effect among the subcategories of clinical competence (t=2.24, p=.030). According to the study of Kwak and Kwon [15], higher professional identity tended to show higher career adaptability and in the study of Son et al [4], new nurses’ turnover intention was affected by professional nursing values and pride as a nurse. Such results were said to be consistent with the findings of this study.…”

“…In Korea, previous studies on the clinical competence of new nurses include predictors of clinical competence in new graduate nurses [7], the relationship between clinical competence and field adaptation [10], the effect of a practical work-oriented education program on the ability of newly recruited nurses in execution of clinical competency [11], the relationship between critical thinking disposition and clinical competence [12], etc. Related studies on career adaptability are as follows: factors related to organizational socialization of new nurses [6], influence of workplace bullying and resilience on organizational socialization [13], resilience and organizational socialization [14], professional self-concept and organizational socialization [15], and the effect of a new nurse-preceptor exchange relationship on organizational socialization [16]. Moreover, clinical competence and degree of organizational socialization were studied in relation to the communication style of preceptors [17] and teaching style of preceptors [18].…”

Factors Influencing Nurses’ Job Performance in Korea and Mongolia: A Cross-Sectional Study

“…Nurses with a work experience of over six months in tertiary general hospitals situated in Wonju-city, Korea, and Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, were selected. This timeframe was chosen as it is generally after six months that nurses can function autonomously and fully adapt to their roles [19]. To conduct the multiple regression analysis, the G* Power 3.1.9.4 program was employed.…”
