Factors Influencing Organizational Socialization in New Nurses: A Focus on Job Stress, Resilience, and Nursing Performance

Purpose: This study investigated the factors influencing organizational socialization in new nurses, with a focus on job stress, resilience, and nursing performance.Methods: The study participants comprised 139 new nurses with less than 12 months of experience, who worked at two certified tertiary hospitals. Data were collected from August 29 to September 11, 2023 through a self-report questionnaire. For data analysis, the t-test, one-way analysis of variance, the Mann-Whitney U test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were used.Results: The mean scores of job stress, resilience, nursing performance, and organizational socialization of new nurses were 67.97±6.19, 111.24±12.76, 59.40±6.53, and 124.40±15.88, respectively. The factors affecting organizational socialization in new nurses were job stress (β=-.49, <i>p</i><.001), nursing performance (β=.21, <i>p</i><.001), job satisfaction (β=.17, <i>p</i>=.005), placement in the wanted department (β=.12, <i>p</i>=.012), and salary satisfaction (β=.12, <i>p</i>=.021). These factors explained 71.1% of variance in organizational socialization.Conclusion: The study findings suggest the need to develop and apply a better program for improving organizational socialization among new nurses.
