| Popis: | 92 The public hospitals in Taiwan are facing the change of public responsibilities that they used to have and on the other hand encountering the fierce competition caused by National Health Insurance. As a consequence of this, public hospitals need to adjust their managerial model, like mergers for example, in order to coordinate their core competence and lower their cost in administration. However, the changes of organizations will cause the job insecurity of employees and further to affect their working attitudes. In hospitals, nursing staff forms the biggest proportion of employees. In this study, we examined the merger of Kaohsiung Municipal United Hospital in 2003. We investigated the job insecurity and working attitudes of nursing staff by questionnaires in the end of 2002 (before the merger) and in the end of 2003 (one year later of the merger) separately. By analyzing those questionnaires we explored the influences of job insecurity on working attitudes, and we also compared the differences of nursing staff’s working attitudes in two hospitals. The findings are: 1. The more job insecurity that nurses got, the worse their job satisfaction will be. 2. The job insecurity and working attitudes of nursing staff will be different based on their different personal characteristics, including the hospital they belonged to, the ages, marriage status, education, levels of position, and their contract types. 3. The influences of job insecurity on job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and intention to quit will be different based on different hospitals. 4. The influences of job insecurity on job satisfaction will be different before and after merger. |
