Abstract
Background: Ethiopia does not have validated tools for assessing organizational commitment. The aim of this study was to develop an Ethiopian version of the organizational commitment questionnaire (OCQ-Eth) and to evaluate its psychometric properties in the assessment of organizational commitment in healthcare organizations in Ethiopia.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 14 healthcare facilities of the Bench-Sheko zone. The collected data were entered into EpiData version 3.1. The data were then exported into STATA version 14.1 and SPSS version 22 for analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory factor analyses were performed for psychometric evaluation of OCQ in the Ethiopian context.
Results: Confirmatory factor analysis showed the original model for organizational commitment did not meet the acceptable model fit. After confirmatory factor analysis, exploratory factor analysis was performed and subsequent confirmatory factor analysis resulted in the development of OCQ-Eth with 16 items classified under four factors (continuance, affective, normative, and concern for the organization) which explained 61.2% of cumulative variance. The three measures of organizational commitment exhibited discriminant and convergent validity. The model fit was improved after exploratory factor analysis.
Conclusion: The extracted factor structure exhibited acceptable goodness of fit. The instrument was fit to evaluate the organizational commitment of healthcare professionals of Ethiopia.
期刊介绍：
Efficient and successful modern healthcare depends on a growing group of professionals working together as an interdisciplinary team. However, many forces shape the delivery of healthcare; changes are being driven by the markets, transformations in concepts of health and wellbeing, technology and research and discovery. Dynamic leadership will guide these necessary transformations. The Journal of Healthcare Leadership is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal focusing on leadership for the healthcare professions. The publication strives to amalgamate current and future healthcare professionals and managers by providing key insights into leadership progress and challenges to improve patient care. The journal aspires to inform key decision makers and those professionals with ambitions of leadership and management; it seeks to connect professionals who are engaged in similar endeavours and to provide wisdom from those working in other industries. Senior and trainee doctors, nurses and allied healthcare professionals, medical students, healthcare managers and allied leaders are invited to contribute to this publication
