The Impact of Organizational Commitment and Positive Psychological Capital on Job Embeddedness of Nurses in Trauma Centers

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate factors affecting job embeddedness of nurses in trauma centers. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study using structured questionnaires completed by 140 nurses in three regional trauma centers in Korea. Data were collected from July 15 to September 10, 2017, and analyzed using SPSS/WIN 23.0 program. Results: The mean score of organizational commitment was 3.65±0.75, positive psychological capital was 3.00±0.45, and job embeddedness was 3.00±0.45. The organizational commitment showed a significant positive correlation with positive psychological capital (r=.36, p<.001) and job embeddedness (r=.60, p<.001), and positive psychological capital also showed a significant positive correlation with job embeddedness (r=.74, p<.001). The factors affecting job embeddedness of nurses in trauma centers were positive psychological capital (β=.61, p<.001), organizational commitment (β=.38, p<.001), and marital status (β=-.14, p=.017). Conclusion:The results of this study suggest that to enhance job embeddedness, it is necessary to develop education and programs to strengthen organizational commitment and positive psychological capital of nurses in trauma centers. In addition, for unmarried nurses, interest and consideration are needed to enhance job embeddedness and to reduce turnover.

The Effect of Positive Psychological Capital on Interpersonal Communication Ability and Turnover Intention of Beauty Workers

“…기업과 조직은 재능 있는 인재를 영입하고 관리하기 위해 긍정성에 초점을 둔 긍정심리자본을 도입하고 있다 (Kim, 2019). 긍정심리자본은 목표 달성과 업무를 위해 필요한 긍정적 인지 상태와 동기부여 를 촉진함으로써 조직에 유효한 태도나 행동 및 성과에 공헌할 수 있고, 효과적으로 육성 및 관리될 수 있어 (Lee & Choi, 2010) 인적자원 경쟁력 강화를 이끌어 낼 수 있다 (Choi & Park, 2019).…”

Effects of job embeddedness and nursing working environment on turnover intention among trauma centre nurses: A cross‐sectional study

“…Job embeddedness includes a sense of fit, which is one's perception of how well‐suited one is to one's organisation or job, as well as the perceived sacrifice of loss of work, and degree of links with other personnel (Mitchel et al, 2001). Choi et al (2019) reported that nurses in trauma centres that experience sudden health deterioration or death of severely injured trauma patients have a higher psychological burden while working and are more susceptible to job stress, showing reduced job embeddedness than nurses in other departments. Therefore, understanding the effect of nurses' job embeddedness in trauma centres on their turnover intention can inform effective interventions.…”

“…Nurses at trauma centres had lower job embeddedness than clinical nurses (Choi et al, 2019; Ko & Lee, 2019). In particular, a study about nurses in hospitals that provide acute treatment in the United States showed a negative relationship between emergency room work and job embeddedness, which was found to be different from nurses in other departments (Hopson et al, 2018).…”

Choi et al (2019) said that the high-intensity work characteristics of trauma centres for caring for severe trauma patients were the cause of lowering the job embeddedness of nurses. In particular, compared to nurses in other departments, trauma centre nurses said that their fit was significantly lower.…”
