This study aims to examine the impact of continuous learning, knowledge, and job empowerment on organizational commitment among employees in healthcare organizations, with a particular focus on the mediating role of competence in elucidating the relationship between these variables. A descriptive approach was adopted by distributing questionnaires to a sample of 157 employees out of a total population of 560 employees working in hospitals in Abha Governorate, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the data and test the hypotheses. The results revealed a direct and positive effect of continuous learning, knowledge, and job empowerment on organizational commitment. Moreover, the study confirmed the mediating role of competence in enhancing this impact. These findings highlight the importance of promoting continuous learning programs, knowledge development, and employee empowerment as effective strategies to strengthen organizational commitment in the healthcare sector. This study contributes to filling the research gap by presenting a comprehensive model applied to the healthcare work environment in the Kingdom, thereby enhancing the understanding of factors that drive organizational commitment and improve the performance of healthcare institutions. | :Key Words· Continuous Learning· Knowledge· Self-Efficacy· Job Empowerment· Organizational Commitment |
