Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study of the Levels of Organizational Commitment of Licensed Nursing Home Administrators (LNHA) analyzed participant survey responses to better understand the factors which reinforce or deter from organizational commitment in this population. An exploratory factor analysis was used to consider the title, age, levels of education, size of facility, change over in ownership, as well as other various organizational traits. The findings of this study identified the following seven factors (latent variables) as underling the survey responses: 1) Familial Nature of the Organization, 2) Individual Investment in the Organization, 3) Nature of the Facility, 4) Vision of the Organization, 5) Organizational Work Environment, 6) Educational Attainment of the Administration, and 7) Adherence to Company Procedures. The authors propose that these seven latent variables are important considerations in retaining Nursing Home Administrators and should be utilized to guide future research and practice.
