This study was to investigate the structural relationship between nurses' motivation and effectiveness in their occupations using the Job Crafting model. This study was identified that the nurses' occupational motivation affected task, cognitive, and relational crafting. The factors affecting job effectiveness, organizational commitment and job embeddedness were also identified.

Cognitive crafting had a significant impact on task and relational crafting, but task crafting had no significant influence on organizational commitment. Organizational commitment was found to have a significant impact on job embeddedness. As a result of comparing by size of the hospital, the Job Crafting model validated in this study showed higher fitness at tertiary hospitals than in common general hospitals.
