RELATIONSHIPS AMONG JOB INVOLVEMENT, JOB-SATISFACTION, AND ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT FOR NURSES

The relationships among a cluster of attitudes toward work and job wer e investigated using a sample of 171 nurses. The hypothesis was that i nvolvement in work and job, commitment to the employing organization, and satisfaction with the job (overall, and with specific facets of th e job) would be significantly correlated. The results showed that invo lvement was not related to overall satisfaction but only to two specif ic facets, satisfaction with work and promotion opportunities. In cont rast, the degree of relationship between overall and various facets of satisfaction and commitment and between involvement and commitment wa s moderately high.
