Aims:
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between managerial competence level and organizational commitment among nurses in Saudi Arabia.
Background:
Nurse managers who have a high degree of managerial competency and/or organizational commitment are seen as role models by their employees and can affect employees' sense of belonging to the organization.
Methods:
A cross-sectional, multisite study was conducted with 226 eligible nurses working at six public hospitals in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected from March through June 2021 through an online self-administered survey. Multivariate regression was used to determine the relationship between managerial competence and organizational commitment while controlling for demographic variables.
Results:
Both managerial competence (M = 152.9, SD = 48.41, range: 54-216) and organizational commitment (M = 49.4, SD = 22.15, range: 18-121) were reported to be slightly moderate among the sample. A significant positive association also existed between managerial competence and organizational commitment variables (r = .510, p < .05).
Conclusions:
Future studies addressing potential issues for improving managerial competence and organizational commitment in clinical environments are recommended.
Implications For Nursing Management:
Nurse administrations should use highly standard guidelines to improve nurses' managerial competence and organizational commitment.
