Abstract

Background: Performance evaluation in facilitating organizational effectiveness is considered an essential task of human resource management that depends on nurses’ employment status. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the relationship of organizational performance with employment status and shift work in nurses at the Shahid Rahnemoun Hospital, Yazd, Iran. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2018. The sample consisted of 151 nurses who were included using census. The instrument was a standard questionnaire whose content validity was confirmed by three experts, and its reliability was approved by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Data analysis was performed using SPSS.22 software through independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and one-sample t-test. Results: Among the four components surveyed in the study, the highest and lowest means and standard deviations were related to “participation and cooperation” (4.35 ± 0.48) and “infection control and prevention” (4.21 ± 0.60), respectively. There was a significant relationship between total performance and the two dimensions of “care and treatment” and “participation and cooperation” with employment status (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The results showed that the type of employment of nurses would affect the organizational performance. In an organization where employees feel job security, they will be committed to that organization and perform their duties more competently, with more motivation and satisfaction. © 2021 Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
