Several studies are available on organizational commitment of employees in different organizations. However, the organizational commitment and job involvement of the employees in the prehospital emergency medical system (PEMS) of Iran have largely been ignored.
This study aimed to investigate the organizational commitment and job involvement of the employees of PEMS and the relationship between these two issues.
This cross-sectional study was conducted on 160 employees of Kashan PEMS who were selected through a census method in 2014. A 3-part instrument was used in this study, including a demographic questionnaire, the Allen and Miller's organizational commitment inventory, and the Lodahl and Kejner's job involvement inventory. We used descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation coefficient, Kruskal-Wallis, Friedman, analysis of variance, and Tukey post hoc tests to analyze the data.
The mean job involvement and organizational commitment scores were 61.78 ± 10.69 and 73.89 ± 13.58, respectively. The mean scores of job involvement and organizational commitment were significantly different in subjects with different work experiences (P = 0.043 and P = 0.012, respectively). However, no significant differences were observed between the mean scores of organizational commitment and job involvement in subjects with different fields of study, different levels of interest in the profession, and various educational levels. A direct significant correlation was found between the total scores of organizational commitment and job involvement of workers in Kashan PEMS (r = 0.910, P < 0.001).
This study showed that the employees in the Kashan PEMS obtained half of the score of organizational commitment and about two-thirds of the job involvement score. Therefore, the higher level managers of the emergency medical system are advised to implement some strategies to increase the employees' job involvement and organizational commitment.
关于不同组织中员工的组织承诺已有多项研究。然而,伊朗院前急救医疗系统(PEMS)中员工的组织承诺和工作投入在很大程度上被忽视了。
本研究旨在调查PEMS员工的组织承诺和工作投入以及这两个问题之间的关系。
本横断面研究于2014年对160名卡尚PEMS员工进行,采用普查方法选取。本研究使用了一个由三部分组成的工具,包括一份人口统计学问卷、艾伦和米勒的组织承诺量表以及洛达尔和凯杰纳的工作投入量表。我们使用描述性统计、斯皮尔曼相关系数、克鲁斯卡尔 - 沃利斯检验、弗里德曼检验、方差分析和图基事后检验来分析数据。
工作投入和组织承诺的平均得分分别为61.78±10.69和73.89±13.58。不同工作经验的受试者工作投入和组织承诺的平均得分存在显著差异(分别为P = 0.043和P = 0.012)。然而,在不同研究领域、对职业的不同兴趣水平和不同教育水平的受试者中,组织承诺和工作投入的平均得分之间未观察到显著差异。卡尚PEMS员工的组织承诺总分与工作投入总分之间存在直接显著相关性(r = 0.910,P < 0.001)。
本研究表明,卡尚PEMS的员工获得了组织承诺分数的一半左右以及工作投入分数的约三分之二。因此,建议急救医疗系统的高层管理者实施一些策略来提高员工的工作投入和组织承诺。
