Abstract

This study is aimed at investigating the effect of positive emotion and organizational citizenship behavior of the nursing performance of nurses working in intensive care units (ICUs). As such, it conducted a survey on 95 nurses, who were working at 9 ICUs of a single university hospital located in D city, from June 12 to 12, 2017 to measure their positive emotion, organizational citizenship behavior, and nursing performance. The collected data were analyzed by using IMB SPSS Statistics version 20.0. Also, correlations among positive emotion, organizational citizenship behavior, and nursing performance were examined by Pearson correlation coefficient. As a result, it was found that positive emotion, organizational citizenship behavior, and nursing performance of nurses in ICUs are related to each other. It suggests that, when developing an intervention strategy to improve ICU nurses’ performance, positive emotion and organizational citizenship behavior should be taken into consideration.
