title: Organizational Commitment and Nurses' Characteristics as Predictors of Job Involvement.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To predict nurses' job involvement on the basis of their organizational commitment and personal characteristics at a large tertiary hospital in Saudi Arabia.
  
  
  METHODS
  Data were collected in 2015 from a convenience sample of 558 nurses working at a large tertiary hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
  
  
  METHODS
  A cross-sectional correlational design was used in this study. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All commitment scales had significant relationships. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the model predicted a sizeable proportion of variance in nurses' job involvement (p < 0.001).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  High organizational commitment enhances job involvement, which may lead to more organizational stability and effectiveness.
