Abstract

Purpose: This study was to investigate the factors influencing performance of preceptors and preceptees. Method: The selectees were composed of 27 preceptors and 27 preceptees. The preceptors were given twenty six hours of education and training concerned with theory and practice and then the preceptors mentioned above gave the preceptees vis-a-vis education and training for four weeks. The data were collected through a questionnaire survey of general characteristics, performance, autonomy, empowerment, organizational commitment. The data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and the Stepwise multiple Regression. Results: The differences of performance, autonomy, organizational commitment and empowerment were found to have a significance between preceptors and preceptees in preceptorship. The performance was significantly correlated between autonomy, organizational commitment and empowerment of the preceptors and preceptees. Stepwise multiple Regression analysis for performance revealed that the most powerful predictor was empowerment. These variables accounted for 37.7%(preceptors) and 54.6%(preceptees) of variance of the performance. Conclusion: The findings above indicated that the preceptorship was significant as nursing management intervention to increase nurses' performance. Therefore it may be necessary further to develop and apply, such as performance, autonomy, empowerment, organizational commitment in preceptorship.
