Abstract：Objective To explore the mediating effect of job insecurity on perceived organizational politics and professional commitment of nurses,and the moderating role of nurses'proactive personality.Methods Totally 404 nurses from two tertiary hospitals in Sichuan province were selected and surveyed by using the perceived organizational politics scale,job insecurity scale,proactive personality scale and professional commitment scale in June and July 2022.Results The scores of perceived organizational politics,job insecurity,professional commitment and proactive personality were(59.92±17.47)points,(19.59±5.37)points,(21.99±4.89)points and(48.96±10.26)points,respectively.The perceived organizational politics had a negative effect on the professional commitment of nurses(β=-0.132,P＜0.001).Moreover,thejob insecurity played a mediating role in the influence of perceived organizational politics on the occupational commitment of nurses,with a mediating effect of-0.095,accounting for 71.97%of the total effect.Nurses'proactive personality positively moderated the first half of the mediation effect(β= 0.094,P＜0.001).Conclusion Nurses'subjective perception of organizational political behavior will lead to job insecurity and decrease of professional commitment,while the proactive personality can strengthen such correlation.
