Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between organizational commitment and professional commitment. This cross-sectional study was conducted between October and November 2012 with 370 nurses assigned to a training and research hospital in Ankara. Based on the study results, it was observed that the general organizational commitment scores among the nurses were at a moderate level (2.96 ± 0.28), while the professional commitment scores were slightly higher (3.61±0.66) in comparison. The average professional commitment score of nurses with administrative duties was statistically significantly higher than the average score of nurses assigned at clinics-polyclinics and without any administrative duties (p=0.014). Within the context of the study, nurses in the >41 years-old age group had professional and organizational commitment scores that were statistically significantly higher than those of nurses in the other age groups (p=0.024 and p=0.027, respectively). Similarly, nurses from the group with >21 years of service had professional and organizational commitment scores that were statistically significantly higher those of nurses in other groups (p=0.029 and p=0.032, respectively). A statistically significant relationship was identified between professional commitment and general organizational commitment; however, the correlation between the two was weak (r=0.121, p=0.020). © Gülhane Askeri Tip Akademisi 2015.
