Identification and Employee Performance : A Study Among Nurses The aim of this study was to examine the effect of organizational virtuousness on performance and organizational identification levels and mediating role of perceived organizational support in these relationships among nurses working in public , private and university hospitals . The data of this descriptive and methodological study were collected from 416 nurses working in five ( two public , two private and a university ) hospitals in December 2015- January 2016 . Participant information form , Organizational Virtuousness , Perceived Organizational Support , Organizational Identification , and Employee Performance scales were used to collect the data . Descriptive , correlative , psychometric analyses and Structural Equation Modeling were performed for the data analysis . Most of the participants were female ( 88.7 %), staff nurses ( 84.6 %) and graduated from bachelor degree nursing education programs ( 53.4 %). Mean scores obtained from scales by the participants were calculated as 3.71 ( SD = 0.99 ) for organizational virtuousness , 3.25 ( SD = 1.12 ) for perceived organizational support , 3.52 ( SD = 1.00 ) for organizational identification and 3.91 ( SD = 0.70 ) for employee performance . It was found that correlation coefficient value between organizational virtuousness and employee performance decreased from r = 0.61 to r = 0.27 ( p0.05 ) via mediating role of perceived organizational support . Goodness of fit indices were found as x2 = 76.00 , df = 22 , RMSEA = 0.077 , GFI = 0.96 , AGFI = 0.92 , CFI = 0.98 , IFI = 0.98 . According to the results perceived organizational support assumes full mediation on the effect of organizational virtuousness on organizational identification and partial mediation of organizational virtuousness on employee performance levels .
