Abstract

The importance of values as a component of the definition of organizational commitment was tested. Although all of the 21 work values analyzed for 142 nurses and 29 nurse managers were significantly related to commitment, one (pride in the organization) accounted for 66% of the variance in commitment. Results were discussed in terms of perceptual variability and organizational efficiency and effectiveness.
