Associations between key job resources, job demands, and affective organizational commitment among nursing professionals in German hospitals: a cross-sectional study

These findings align with theoretical perspectives suggesting that specific job resources and demands may play a role in nursing professionals' affective organizational commitment. Based on the observed associations between job resources and demands and affective organizational commitment, this study offers considerations for hospital management. Three areas might warrant management attention: cultivating fair, authentic, and moral leadership practices among nurse managers; systematically mitigating work overload; and ensuring attractive remuneration packages. Future research, particularly longitudinal or experimental studies, is needed to further investigate the causal relationships underlying the observed associations.
