Abstract
- Aim: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between structural empowerment, psychological empowerment, and organizational commitment in Jordanian staff nurses. Background: Empowering nurses is one of the most effective strategies for increasing efficiency. Therefore, studying the contribution of structural and psychological empowerment to organizational commitment will provide a base for future interventions to improve nurses' working environment. Materials and Methods: This cross‐sectional study used snowball sampling to recruit staff nurses working in Jordanian public and private hospitals. The sample consisted of 180 nurses. Data were collected using three valid and reliable self‐reporting questionnaires that were distributed in electronic format. Results: Nurses reported a moderate level of both structural and psychological empowerment, and a high level of organizational commitment. Significant positive relationships were found between structural empowerment and psychological empowerment and organizational commitment (r =.62, p <.001) and (r =.57, p <.001) respectively. Conclusion: Staff nurses reported moderate levels of both structural and psychological empowerment, and have a high level of organizational commitment. Positive relationships between structural empowerment, psychological empowerment, and organizational commitment were found among Jordanian staff nurses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
