  • Title: Moderating effects of professional commitment on hospital nurses in Taiwan.
    Author: Teng CI, Lotus Shyu YI, Chang HY.
    Journal: J Prof Nurs; 2007; 23(1):47-54. PubMed ID: 17292133.
    Abstract:
    This study investigates the moderating effects of professional commitment on relationships among burnout, job satisfaction, and turnover intention. Two-hundred fifty-three nurses working in a single medical center in northern Taiwan were sampled and approached, and 238 questionnaires were used. All participants were female and aged <50 years. Moreover, 30.3% of the sample was married. Professional commitment moderated the influence of burnout on job satisfaction, but not the influence of job satisfaction on turnover intention. First, burnout (in terms of reduced personal accomplishment and emotional exhaustion) predicted job satisfaction for high-commitment nurses, but not for low-commitment nurses. Second, job satisfaction predicted turnover intention for both high-commitment and low-commitment nurses.
