[The relationship of occupational and organizational commitments with professional activities and burnout tendencies in nurses].
This research examined the relationship of occupational and organizational commitments with professional activities and burnout tendencies in nurses. Nurses who have worked in a large urban hospital were asked to complete a series of questionnaires. The 341 participants were all female (mean age = 32.8 years; mean career = 11.2 years). Factor analysis revealed three independent components of the occupational commitment scale and four components of the organizational commitment scale. The results of hierarchical regression analyses demonstrated that each of the occupational and organizational components contributed independently to the predictions of professional activities and burnout tendencies.
