Abstract

Purpose
This study was conducted to identify the effects of nursing work environment, job crafting and organizational commitment on nurses’ job satisfaction perceived by nurses
Methods
The research model was designed based on Hayes’s PROCESS macro model 6. Participants were 122 nurses from general hospitals. A survey was conducted and data were collected in March 2019. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlations and Hayes's PROCESS macro method for mediation.
Results
Job satisfaction showed a significant positive correlation with the nursing work environment, job crafting and organizational commitment. Furthermore, job crafting and organizational commitment had a mediating effect on the relationship between the nursing work environment and job satisfaction.
Conclusion
The impact of the nursing work environment on job satisfaction among general hospital nurses was mediated by job crafting and organizational commitment. Considering the mediating effects of job crafting and organizational commitment on the relationship between nursing work environment and job satisfaction, a strategy should be developed for enhancing job crafting and organizational commitment to improve nurses’ working environments and, thus, their job satisfaction.
