Exploring the Role of Organizational and Personal Resources in Explaining Nurse Performance in Public Hospitals in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus
This article investigates the role of organizational and personal resources in explaining nurses’ in-role and extra-role performances. A sample of 124 nurses working for public hospitals in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) serves as the study setting. Results of the study reveal that organizational and personal resources included in the scope of this study cannot explain the nurses’ in-role and extra-role performances. Implications of the results are discussed and future research directions are offered.
