Abstract

Background: For nurses to be efficient and effective, job engagement and organizational commitment are crucial, and these concepts are connected to a number of performance outcomes. Understanding these professional aspects of nurses’ lives would therefore benefit and help improving the work environment, and consequently patients’ outcomes. Purposes: To assess the nurses’ job engagement and organizational commitment at various career stages, and to assess the association between these concepts. Methods: A descriptive correlation design was used. Convenient sampling method was used to recruit nurses from the accessible population. Registers nurses who have been working at an oncology center for more than one year were included in the study. Data were collected through a self-reported scales. Results: The average job engagement score was 35.7 out of 45, and the average organizational commitment score was 4.28 out of 7. The late career stage was where nurses were found to have the highest job engagement score (mean = 37.1), and the highest organizational commitment score (mean = 4.36). It was found that there was a weakly positive correlation between the job engagement and organizational commitment. Conclusions: The current study sheds light on the bedside nurses’ levels of job engagement and organizational commitment. Both concepts are at an intermediate level and have been incrementally raised as career stages have advanced. These concepts might be effectively advanced by empowering nurses, and novice nurses require particular attention and support.
