✦ Synopsis

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between employee attitudes toward training and feelings of organizational
commitment among a sample of 337 registered nurses from five hospitals. Using social exchange theory as a
framework for investigating the relationship, the researcher found that perceived access to training, social
support for training, motivation to learn, and perceived benefits of training are positively related to
organizational commitment. Using a three‐component model of organizational commitment, the strongest
relationships appear with the affective form of commitment. The relationship between perceived access to training
opportunities and the affective form of organizational commitment is moderated by job satisfaction but not job
involvement. The findings are discussed for their theoretical and practical application to HRD, for the
management of HRD in health care settings, and for researchers interested in outcomes of HRD.
