Predictors of Organisational Commitment and Retention Intent Among Midcareer Nurses: Addressing the Midcareer Dip in Taiwan.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe global nursing workforce shortage has been intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic, placing frontline nurses under sustained pressure and potentially diminishing their organisational commitment. This study aimed to examine differences in organisational commitment among midcareer nurses in Taiwan across demographic and work-related characteristics and to investigate the relationships between work excitement, work frustration and organisational commitment in order to identify key predictors of organisational commitment.
methodsA cross-sectional design with convenience sampling was employed. A total of 240 registered female nurses working at or above the regional hospital level in northern Taiwan were recruited between July and December 2024 through online professional nursing networks. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Work Excitement Scale, the Work Frustration Scale and the Organisational Commitment Scale. Descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA and multiple regression analyses were performed.
resultsParticipants had a mean age of 32.54 years and an average of 10.36 years of nursing experience. Higher organisational commitment was observed among nurses who were older, held managerial positions, worked regular day shifts and perceived lighter workloads. Work excitement was positively associated with organisational commitment, whereas work frustration and perceived workload were negative predictors. Importantly, nurses in the midcareer stage (3-8 years of tenure) demonstrated significantly lower organisational commitment compared with those at earlier or later career stages, whereas chronological age was not an independent predictor after adjustment for tenure and other covariates.
conclusionMidcareer nurses encounter distinct challenges, including heavy workloads, constrained career advancement and discrepancies between expectations and workplace realities, which together undermine their organisational commitment. As this group represents the core of the nursing workforce, tailored retention strategies are essential. Drawing on international best practices, Taiwan should establish structured professional development and continuing education frameworks that support midcareer nurses across clinical, educational, managerial and research trajectories. Such initiatives are crucial to enhancing job satisfaction, reinforcing commitment and promoting long-term workforce stability.
