This study examined the effects of the nursing work environment and job stress on organizational commitment among nurses working in integrated nursing care service wards. Data were collected from 130 nurses in general and tertiary hospitals (≥200 beds) in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon using structured questionnaires and analyzed with hierarchical multiple regression. The nursing work environment showed a significant positive correlation with organizational commitment (r = .677, p < .01) and negative correlation with job stress (r = -.678, p < .01). Job stress was negatively correlated with organizational commitment (r = -.761, p < .001). Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that the nursing work environment had a significant positive effect on organizational commitment (β = .290, p < .001), while job stress had a significant negative effect (β = -.495, p < .001). The final model explained 65.5% of the variance in organizational commitment. These results indicate that organizational commitment among nurses in integrated nursing care service wards is significantly influenced by the work environment and job stress, suggesting that improving the work environment and managing job stress are essential strategies for enhancing organizational commitment.
