- Description
- Healthcare services are important to maintaining and improving the wellbeing of a country’s citizens. Nurses are part of medical professionals who ensure that the health and wellbeing of patients are maintained, improved and restored. In order to ensure that nurses provide quality services to patients, healthcare institutions are required to address the health and safety needs within their institutions. This implies that public health institutions are required to protect the health and wellbeing of nurses by implementing safety measures within the institutions. The commitment towards the implementation of safety measures in public health institutions is crucial in order to protect the health of nurses, patients and their families. Should public health institutions neglect the implementation of safety measures, and safety management, it will lead to exposure to risks and hazards, high nurse turnover, an increase in costs and a decrease in profitability. This study investigated employee commitment towards the implementation of safety measures in public healthcare institutions. Furthermore, this study investigated the influence of employee commitment towards the implementation of safety measures on employee retention and organisational performance. This study utilised questionnaires to gather primary data from a total number of 1400 nurses from public healthcare institutions located in the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal provinces. The primary data was subjected to five types of analysis, namely, reliability, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), descriptive statistics, multiple regression analysis and correlation analysis. The empirical results of this study reveal that there is a relationship between migration, role considerations, health environment, organisational support, work conditions (enabling environment and benefits) and employee commitment to the implementation of safety measures related to safety compliance.
