The results indicated that nurse anesthetists had higher affective commitment (M=20.40, SD=3.37) than continuance commitment (M=19.73, SD =3.53) and normative commitment (M=17.36, SD =3.33). Additionally, nurse anesthetists had higher intrinsic job satisfaction (M=34.67, SD=4.94) than extrinsic job satisfaction (M=31.24, SD=5.55). The organizational commitment varied according to personal characteristics, such as age, marital status, position, salary, seniority, and difference of working years at the unit (P<0.05).
