Abstract

The present study aims at exploring the relationship between occupational stress and organizational commitment among nurses in selected Jordanian hospitals, and measuring the level of occupational stress and the level of organizational commitment among nurses in selected Jordanian hospitals in Amman. The research population consisted of two governmental teaching hospitals, and a systematic random sample of 150 nursing personnel was selected. A self-administered questionnaire was used for collecting data for this study. The questionnaire was developed by the researcher based on pertinent literature. It includes two main parts; one of them is the occupational stress (sources of work pressure, health information, and coping strategies), the other one is the organizational commitment. The findings of the present study revealed that occupational stress is present among thirty percent of the nurses; and forty percent of the nurses had organizational commitment. The study also reveals that the organizational commitment is statistically significantly negatively correlated to occupational stress (P = 0.025, r = -0.18). Based on the previous findings relevant recommendations were made.

الملخص

هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى استكشاف العلاقة بين الضغوط المهنية والالتزام التنظيمي، بالإضافة إلى قياس مستوى الضغوط المهنية ومستوى الالتزام التنظيمي لدى الممرضين في المستشفيات الأردنية في مدينة عمان. وقد تألف مجتمع الدراسة من مستشفيين حكوميين تعليميين، وتم اختيار عينة عشوائية منتظمة تألفت من (150) مبحوثا. واعتمدت الاستبانة كأداة لجمع بيانات الدراسة ، حيث طورت الاستبانة بالاعتماد على الأدبيات الإدارية، وقد احتوت على جزأين رئيسيين: تناول احدهما الضغوط المهنية (مصادر ضغط العمل، والمعلومات الصحية، واستراتيجيات التكيف) ، في حين تناول الجزء الأخر الالتزام التنظيمي. وأظهرت نتائج الدراسة أن هناك ضغوط مهنية لدى (30%) من الممرضين، كما أن (40%) من الممرضين لديهم التزام تنظيمي، كما أظهرت الدراسة أن هناك علاقة عكسية ضعيفة ذات دلالة إحصائية بين الالتزام التنظيمي والضغوط المهنية(P=0.025, r= -0.18). وبناء على النتائج قدمت الدراسة عددا من التوصيات ذات العلاقة بموضوعها.
