Abstract
This cross-sectional study aims to explore the relationship between personal characteristics, perceived organizational support, empowerment, and organizational commitment. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires from health workers at Sub-district Health Promoting Hospitals (SHPHs) in Suphanburi Province from June to July, 2023. A total of 374 out of 542 participants 69% were completed the questionnaires for data analysis. Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis statistics were used for data analysis. The findings revealed that most health workers perceived organizational commitment, empowerment at a moderate level (54%, 52.4%), and perceived organizational support at a high level (39.04%). Additionally, perceived organizational support, and empowerment showed statistically significant relationships with organizational commitment (r = 0.622, 0.614). Perceived organizational support and empowerment were crucial predictors accounted for 44.1% of the variance in the organizational commitment. To increase the health workers’ organizational commitment, the SHPHs supervisors should focus on improving perceived organizational support and empowerment for SHPHs to retain them within the organization.
