Abstract :
Introduction: The success of hospitals in providing patient satisfaction depends on many factors. The role of employee's commitment to organizational behavior in patient’s satisfaction in hospitals is important. Methods: The present study is a methodological research in Tehran University of Medical Sciences, which aims to design a questionnaire for assessment of the employee's commitment to organizational behavior which was carried out in two phases. In the first phase we developed items pool based on a review of literature and expert’s views. In the second phase we evaluated content validity and face validity of items, and finally the reliability assessment of the instrument. Results: A questionnaire was developed based on a review of literature; an 80-items pool was formed. By interviewing experts, and omitting the overlap items, the number of items was reduced to 40 items. In the next stage, content validity, face validity and reliability of the items (α = 0.859) were proved, and the number of items were reduced to 17 items. Finally, we allocated 12 items (from 17 items) to be assessed by heads and colleagues. We also found that patients were able to evaluate the employee's commitment to organizational behavior through 5 items (from 17 items). Conclusion: An assessment tool contain 17 items was developed for assessment of the employee's commitment to organizational behavior, taking into account the views of service providers and patients.
