title: Reconceptualizing organizational commitment.
abstract: Currently, vacancy rates and nursing turnover are at low levels, indicating that nurses are staying in their jobs for longer periods of time. The reasons for decreased job mobility for nurses are varied, but this development has ramifications for nurse administrators and managers. The new challenge will be to enhance the motivation of the nurse who will stay in a job for a longer term. This report of a study to further explore different types of organizational commitment with a nursing population gives new insight into why nurses stay in their jobs and the implications this has for the organization.
