The Effects of Supervisors’ Support and Mediating Factors on the Nurses’ Job Performance Using Structural Equation Modeling: A Case Study

This study aimed to determine the effect of supervisors’ support and mediating factors on the job performance (JOBPER) of 400 nurses working in the teaching hospitals affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, using structural equation modeling. The results showed that the supervisor’s support had a significant negative effect on work-family conflict (t = −2.57) and a positive effect on organizational commitment (t = 4.03); Work-family conflict had a significant positive effect on job stress (t = 11.24) and a negative effect on organizational commitment (t = −3.35) and JOBPER (t = −2.29). Family-work conflict had a positive effect on job stress (t = 4.48) and a negative effect on organizational commitment (t = −2.54). Finally, job stress had a negative effect (t = −3.30), and organizational commitment showed a positive effect (t = 5.96) on the studied nurses’ JOBPER. According to the results, supervisor’s support could influence JOBPER through reducing work-family conflict and increasing organizational commitment. Therefore, to improve the nurses’ JOBPER in the hospitals, some strategies are recommended.
