Le résumé fourni par la source

An effectively functioning health system is one of the many factors that determine the health of a population. Work and involvement of nurses in their job represent an indispensable part of the healthcare industries. Investigating on work values and job involvement of nurses is essential in this fast-changing healthcare scenario. The research study was conducted using a descriptive – correlational design utilizing the quantitative research approach to Staff Nurses in public hospitals. The level of work values is perceived by the nurses as very important, which means that work values are always applied in the work setting. The level of job involvement of staff nurses is generally very good. The respondents rated first in rank in “enthusiastic to go to work and commitment to my job is hard to be broken” and last in rank in terms of being uninterested in their job. The staff nurses are very much involved in their job. On the other hand, the profile on age, gender, civil status, highest educational attainment, monthly income, length of service, and designation are not significantly related to the staff’s level of work values and job involvement. However, it is noted that there is a significant relationship between the work values and job involvement of public nurses. Thus, as the level of work values increases, the level of job involvement of the staff nurses increases. The study showed that the profile of the respondents is not a determinant factor of work values and job involvement of the public nurses. It is noted that the higher the work values, the better are the job involvement of nurses in the nursing organization. Keywords: work values, job involvement, public nurses
