Purposes The incivility behaviors of patients and their family members affect the willingness of clinical nursing staff to work. This study examined the mediating effect of affective professional commitment of nurses on the association between customer incivility behaviors, and job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behaviors. Methods This study enrolled 345 clinical nursing staff from a hospital in the Southern region. A two-stage survey was conducted with a two-month interval between the data collection period. In the first and second stages, 322 and 307 valid questionnaires were collected, respectively. A total of 299 valid questionnaires were obtained, with a return rate of 87%. Results Customer incivility behaviors were negatively associated with affective professional commitment, whereas affective professional commitment was significantly associated with job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behaviors. Conclusions Customer incivility behaviors reduce individual affective commitment toward their profession, thereby reducing job satisfaction and willingness to assist their colleagues. Management and administrative units must mitigate this by strengthening the affective professional commitment of the staff and increasing individual ability to respond to inappropriate treatment. |
