Summary
This study developed a simulation model to improve organizational socialization for new nurses, enhancing commitment, satisfaction, and performance while reducing turnover. The model provides a framework for effective nurse onboarding.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Science
- Organizational Behavior
- Systems Dynamics
Context:
- New nurses face challenges during organizational socialization, impacting their integration and retention.
- Effective socialization is crucial for maintaining nursing workforce stability and quality of care.
Purpose:
- To identify key variables influencing new nurse organizational socialization.
- To develop and validate a causal map and simulation model for effective organizational socialization.
- To provide a framework for optimizing the onboarding process for newly graduated nurses.
Summary:
- A simulation model was developed using VENSIM 5.0b DSS, analyzing data from Sep. 2002 to July 2003.
