“…Private-sector nurses are found to have a significantly higher level of career commitment than their public-sector counterparts. While Mrayyan & Al-Faouri [ 49 ] reported similar results in the case of Jordanian nurses, the findings of this study contradict those reported by the same authors in another study [ 50 ]), as well as those of Lima et al [ 29 ]. This discrepancy may be attributed to the fact that, even though the jobs in the private sector are more stressful, they tend to be financially more rewarding.…”

“…Numerous social, organizational, and demographic factors have been found to exert a moderating role on career commitment. Authors of extant research focusing on nurses have examined age [ 23 , 24 ], education [ 24 , 25 ], gender [ 26 ], marital status [ 24 , 27 ], tenure [ 24 , 25 ], level of organization [ 28 ], type of organization [ 29 ], among other factors. However, their findings are inconsistent, further confirming the need to explore antecedents and moderators of career commitment in greater detail.…”

The present study investigates the effect of perceived social support (PSS) and perceived religious endorsement (PRE) on career commitment (CC) of Saudi nurses. The investigation also extends to the moderating role of different demographic and organizational factors in the extent of PSS, and career commitment these nurses report. Data required for meeting these study objectives were collected from male and female Saudi nurses through a structured questionnaire. Multiple regressions using Partial Least Squares based Structural Equation Model, Smart-PLS version 3.0, and independent sample t-test using SPSS version 22.0, were used to analyze data. The study findings reveal that both perceived social support and perceived religious endorsement are important antecedents of career commitment of Saudi nurses. However, private-sector nurses are found to exhibit a significantly higher level of career commitment compared to their public-sector counterparts. Nurses with greater educational attainment perceive higher level of social support and express greater career commitment than their less educated peers. These findings suggest that nursing as a profession should be more openly discussed in both secular and religious contexts, to ensure an adequate level of respect and compassion on behalf of the public. In particular, endorsement from the individual nurses’ social networks is vital in maintaining their wellbeing and career commitment. Given the religious influence in all aspects of life in the Saudi society, the current practice of gender-based segregation in Saudi hospitals and clinics seems to be meaningful for sustaining the career commitment of the nurses.

Objective: Assess levels of career commitment and career entrenchment among Primary Health Care workers. Methods: This Cross-sectional study addressed 393 workers using the Brazilian versions of the Career Commitment Measure (CCM) and Career Entrenchment Measure (CEM). Results: Levels of Career commitment [75.5-77.5] were higher (p<0.001) than Career Entrenchment [66.7-69.2]. Identity levels [82.7-85.5] were higher (p<0.001) than Investment levels [60.4-65.0]. Career resilience levels [75.1-79.2] were higher (p<0.001) than Emotional costs [69.0-72.1]. Planning levels [64.2-67.1] were lower (p<0.001) than levels of limitedness of career alternatives [68.1-71.0]. Conclusion: The highest scores were obtained in Career commitment, showing the workers’ identification and positive relationship with their careers, that is, these workers remain in Primary Health Care services because they identify themselves with their professions.

“…Besides that, the Support for Training Transfer can influence organizational commitment and organizational entrenchment links, that accorging Bastos, Rodrigues, Moscon, Silva, and Pinho (2013), Karami, Farokhzadian, and Foroughameri (2017) and Lima et al (2015), also are constructs favorable to organizational performance. Committed individuals, those are affectively attached to the organization and who share their values and goals (Bastos et al, 2013), contribute to increasing productivity and quality of production (Hausknecht, Hiller, & Vance, 2008), reduce costs, absenteeism and turnover rates (Bastos et al, 2013;Cooper-Hakim & Vieswesvaran, 2005;Mowday, Porter, & Steers, 1982).…”

Purpose-This research aimed to analyze the influence of Support for Transfer of Training on the links of Organizational Commitment and Organizational Entrenchment. Design/methodology/approach-A descriptive research of a quantitative nature was carried out. Participated in the survey 392 civil servants from a Public Higher Education Institution. Findings-The results showed that a greater perception of Support for the Transfer of Training by workers increases their levels of Affective Commitment, which results in a series of behaviors favorable to better organizational performance. The relationship between Training Transfer Support and Organizational Entrenchment has not been demonstrated. This fact shows that when analyzing the Support for Transfer of Training, the worker, even associating such benefit with an exchange reasoning (of losses and gains) does not change his Entrenchment link. Originality/value-The evidence demonstrates that investments in Training Transfer Support by organizations produce a desire for permanence and affection centered on the achievement of organizational goals and objectives.
