Nursing staff plays the major role in the healthcare industry.

The study uses a stratified sampling method in which 376 Nursing Staff from 32 hospitals has responded. This study uses the well-known instrument - ACN scale developed by Allen and Meyer (1997).The group of married nursing staff revealed a higher mean for all the variables of commitment.
