“…Considering the quality of work-life of nurses, several studies (26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32) have indicated poor quality of work life levels in similar with the findings in this study. Aspects identified in this study such as training and development, relationship between team members, job satisfaction, and work environment were identified to be more influencing factors related to the quality of work-life in similar to the previous study in Saudi Arabia (26).…”

“…Aspects identified in this study such as training and development, relationship between team members, job satisfaction, and work environment were identified to be more influencing factors related to the quality of work-life in similar to the previous study in Saudi Arabia (26). In relation to organizational loyalty, poor levels of commitment were identified in the previous studies (13,25), which can be related with the low levels of quality of work-life analyzed from the findings in this study and also previous studies (26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32). Task performance, which can be analyzed from the performance of given basic nursing tasks in terms of quality and quantity, was identified to be reasonable among the nurse managers and nurses.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between quality of work-life on the organizational loyalty and job performance in Saudi Arabia.MethodsThis study used a cross-sectional design for collecting the data related to the nurses' quality of work-life, organizational loyalty, and job performance from nursing staff in Saudi Arabian hospitals. Three questionnaires were used in this study, which includes Quality of Work Life Scale (QWLS), Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ), and Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ). An online version of the survey questionnaire was generated using the Google survey, to which a link is generated for collecting data. At the end of the survey, 243 responses were received. After removing the incomplete responses, 209 responses were considered for the data analysis. The statistical techniques including t-tests and Pearson's correlation were used in the data analysis.ResultsNurse managers reflected good quality of life, and high loyalty toward their employers, and also reflected good job performance levels. However, staff nurses reflected poor quality of work-life, organizational loyalty, and job performance. Training and development had strong positive correlation with continuance commitment (r = 0.628, p < 0.01). Job satisfaction and job security held strong positive correlation with task performance (r = 0.601, p < 0.01) and contextual performance (r = 0.601, p < 0.01).ConclusionQuality of work-life, organization loyalty, and job performance are positively correlated, and poor quality of work-life can negatively impact job performance and organizational loyalty of nurses.

“…Nurses in government hospitals are expatriate nurses and prefer to hire female nurse expatriates, which explains that the nurses in the study settings are primarily female. Expatriate nurses from the Philippines, India, Jordan, Egypt, and other countries make up about 50 to 60% of the nurses in each of the four study settings ( Alreshidi & Alsharari, 2021 ; Ministry of Health, 2019). Regarding culture, male nurses are not permitted to work in some hospital areas, such as maternity hospitals, making them exclusively female-dominated ( Alreshidi & Alsharari, 2021 ).…”

“…Previous studies have indicated that emotional intelligence (EI) and self-esteem among nursing students significantly affect their academic performance, clinical competence, and general health status. For example, EI enables patients to effectively control their emotions while dealing with patients, leading to improved clinical outcomes [5,6]. Therefore, those with higher EI levels are better placed to manage the emotional demands of this profession.…”

Introduction Understanding the emotional intelligence (EI) and self-esteem of Indian and Saudi nursing students is important because their future nurse–patient relationships may be influenced by factors related to their unique cultural contexts. Hence, this study sought to investigate the EI and self-esteem of nursing students in Saudi Arabia and India. Methods A descriptive–comparative research design was used to compare 660 nursing students from Saudi Arabia and India who were enrolled in the study from September 2022 to January 2023. Nursing students were recruited from University A in Riyadh and University B in Abha, Saudi Arabia, and from University C in India. Results The study found significant differences in EI scores based on year of study (p < .011), age (p < .024), residence (p < .005), and academic performance (p < .008). Students in later years, over 20 years old, from urban areas, and with good grades, had higher EI scores. Conversely, only age showed a significant difference in the self-esteem scores (p < .002). The year of study (p > .670), residence (p > .430), and academic performance (p > .526) did not significantly affect self-esteem. Finally, urban residence and good academic performance were significant predictors of EI (p < .005), while none of the demographics predicted self-esteem (p > .005). Conclusion Higher emotional intelligence among nursing students can be associated with several variables, such as being in the higher years of study, older age, residing in an urban area, and good academic performance, whereas self-esteem appears to be hardly affected by these indicators but probably influenced by other aspects that were not measured. This implies that educators in relation to self-esteem should know the relationship between emotional intelligence and nursing practice besides healthcare establishments; they need to enhance their teaching methods so that learners can have more resilient attitudes towards work, provide quality patient care, and promote a better learning environment for nurses who will become stronger professionally in the future.
