碩士 === 朝陽科技大學 === 工業工程與管理系碩士班 === 96 === The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship among job demands, job resources, and professional commitment of nurses who work at teaching hospitals in Taiwan. In the literature synthesis of this study, first, I selected and referenced researches which were conducted in the nation and overseas and were aimed at providing a complete analysis on three inventories – job demands, job resources, and professional commitment. Then, I articulated a revision of these three inventories in regard with the population of this research. Using the three inventories, data were collected from teaching-hospital nurses in Taiwan via questionnaire design with a random sampling of 350 teaching-hospital nurses. There were 302 questionnaires received which consisted 234 effective samples. The hypothesis of this study was testified based on these collected data and employed a wide-rage of methods including factor analysis, multivariate variance analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, canonical correlation analysis, multiple stepwise regression analysis, and path analysis. Drawn from the research findings of this study, I concluded (a) the job demands of teaching-hospital nurses is relatively high, and among job resources, the amount salary and bonus is unsatisfied; (b) years of working experience and professional commitment exhibits a positive correlation; (c) cause-effect relationship exists between job demands and professional commitment; (d) job resources is not an intermediate effect when job demands has impact on professional commitment.
