| Tiivistelmä: | This paper aims to elucidate the withdrawal behaviors syndrome (lateness, absence, and intent to leave work) among nurses by inspecting interrelations between these behaviors and the mediating impact of organizational commitment upon ethical perceptions (caring climate, formal climate, and distributive justice) and withdrawal behaviors. 201 nurses from one northern Israel hospital participated in questionnaires and hospital records were also utilized. The analyses are based on Hierarchical Multiple Regressions and Structural Equation Modeling with AMOS. Affective commitment was found to mediate the relationship between the nurses' ethical perceptions (caring climate, formal climate, and distributive justice) and their intent to leave work. Lateness was found to positively relate to absence frequency, as for found negatively related to intent to leave. Males were late more often than females, while seniority was related only to absence frequency. The findings imply each withdrawal behavior exhibiting unique relationships. The results can help policy makers to improve the ethical environment in order to improve nurses' commitment and reduce their leaving intentions. This may be achieved through ethical education for nurses which may promote ethical deliberation to become an integral part of nurse work. |
