Abstract
Health workers particularly nurses play important roles in ensuring good health condition of human population in the hospitals at all levels. Their level of job commitment at work cannot be overemphasized because it has a long way of affecting human lives generally. This study therefore investigated the relationship among job satisfaction, psychological wellbeing, and organisational commitment among the Psychiatric Nurses in Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Abeokuta, Ogun State. A sample of two hundred and twenty (220) nurses were selected through simple random sampling technique and three research instruments were used in collecting data. Data collected were analysed using Multiple Regression Analysis. The result showed a significant and positive relationship between psychological wellbeing and organisational commitment. Psychological wellbeing was a good predictor of organisational commitment while job satisfaction was not good enough in predicting it. There was also a significant combined and relative contribution of job satisfaction and psychological wellbeing on organizational wellbeing of Psychiatric Nurses. It was recommended that hospital administrators should intensify efforts in providing work environment and incentives that could improve the good wellbeing of Psychiatric Nurses to enhance their job commitment in workplace.
