Description
Summary:The purpose of this study is to examine the moderating effects of affective commitment on the relationship between personality traits and customer-oriented behavior among the Malaysian nurses. A quantitative research method was used in this study. Hierarchical regression analysis was employed to test the variables in this study. The findings indicate that a positive significant relationship between personality traits and customer-oriented behavior was established. Affective commitment was found to be a significant moderator between agreeableness and customer-oriented behavior. This paper attempts to provide a framework to the hospital Management to enhance their nurses' performance and offers new avenue to future researchers to apply the concept of customer-oriented behavior in the healthcare context.
