Abstract EN
Background: Many factors influence the organizational commitment of employees.
One of these factors is job designing since it affects the attitude, beliefs, and feelings of the organization employees.
Objectives: We aimed to determine the relationship between job characteristics and organizational commitment among the employees of hospitals.
Patients and Methods: In this descriptive and correlational study, 152 Iranian employees of the hospitals (physicians, nurses, and administrative staff) were selected through stratified random sampling.
Data gathered using 3-part questionnaire of “demographic information”, “job characteristics model,” and “organizational commitment,” in 2011.
Study data were analyzed using SPSS v.
16.
Results: There was significant statistical correlation between organizational commitment and variables of educational level (P = 0.001) and job category (P = 0.001).
Also, a direct and significant correlation existed between motivating potential score and job feedback on one hand and organizational commitment on the other hand (P = 0.014).
Conclusions: According to the results, managers of the hospitals should increase staff’s commitment through paying attention to proper job designing.
