Examining The Effects Of Motivation And Workplace Facilities On Patient Safety Through Nurses’ Work Commitment

Abstract

This study aimed to examine and analyze the effects of motivation and workplace facilities on patient safety, with nurses’ work commitment as a mediating variable in the Central Surgical Unit of Dr. Kariadi General Hospital. The study involved 70 nurses selected using a nonprobability sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Smart-PLS, including outer model, inner model, and estimation testing. The findings revealed that motivation had a significant direct effect on patient safety (p = 0.001 < 0.05), while workplace facilities also significantly influenced patient safety (p = 0.000 < 0.05). Motivation did not significantly affect nurses’ work commitment (p = 0.352 > 0.05), whereas workplace facilities had a significant effect on work commitment (p = 0.000 < 0.05). In addition, work commitment significantly affected patient safety (p = 0.024 < 0.05). The mediation analysis showed that work commitment could not mediate the effect of motivation on patient safety (p = 0.372 > 0.05), but it successfully mediated the effect of workplace facilities on patient safety (p = 0.041 < 0.05). The Adjusted R Square values indicated that 67.2% of patient safety variation and 71.7% of work commitment variation were explained by the model. The study recommends improving workplace facilities, strengthening nurses’ commitment, enhancing motivation systems, and maintaining consistent patient safety practices through supervision and effective communication
