Relational Model of Organizational Politics Perception, Job Satisfaction, Job Stress, and Organizational Commitment in Hospital Nursing Staff Su-Yueh Chen Jaw-Yuan Wang Ching-Sheng ChangHui-Ching Weng<p><strong>Objectives: </strong>This study investigated the correlations between the organizational politics perception,</p><p>job satisfaction, job stress, and organizational commitment of the hospital employees in a medical centre.</p><p>This will allow managers at various levels to understand better the organizational politic perception of the</p><p>hospital nursing staff, which will enable them to reduce the negative impacts of hospital nursing staff’s</p><p>organizational politics perception and job stress, and improve the job satisfaction and organizational</p><p>commitment of hospital employees. Accordingly, the hospital will become more competitive and achieve</p><p>sustainable operation.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We adopted a cross-sectional design using a questionnaire survey. In this study, the</p><p>convenience sampling method was applied to the nurses of the hospital. A total of fi ve hundred</p><p>questionnaires were distributed between March 2017 and May 2017, and four hundred and fi fty seven</p><p>ones were returned; 448 of the copies were valid, with a valid response rate of 89.6%. The SPSS 18.0 and</p><p>Amos 18.0 (structural equation modeling) software were used for data analysis.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> Hospital nursing staff’s organizational politics perception has a signifi cant negative effect</p><p>on their job satisfactionand organizational commitment. Hospital nursing staff’s organizational politics</p><p>perception has a signifi cant positive effect on their job stress. Hospital nursing staff’s job satisfaction has</p><p>a signifi cant positive effect on their organizational commitment. Hospital nursing staff’s job stress has a</p><p>signifi cant negative effect on their organizational commitment.</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> This study recommends that hospitals establish good communication management</p><p>mechanisms so that supervisors can effectively communicate with hospital nursing personnel and</p><p>increase mutual reliance. This can reduce effects from political behaviour and not let hospital nursing</p><p>personnel feel stressed because of political behaviour. Hospital nursing personnel should be appropriately</p><p>encouraged to increase their work motivation and service spirit. These results indicate that to reduce</p><p>hospital personnel work stress, hospital nursing management should pay attention to the function of</p><p>each position and determine whether the workload of each hospital nurse is appropriate. Positive advice</p><p>and encouragements for hospital nursing personnel must be given and guidance for inadequacies must</p><p>be provided to allow hospital nursing personnel in the team to have the opportunities to learn and grow.</p> Archives of Nursing Practice and Care - Peertechz Publications 2017-12-30 Research Article https://doi.org/10.17352/anpc.000031 en Copyright © Su-Yueh Chen et al.
