The aim of this study was to determine the influence of leave arrangement on commitment of nurses in public
hospitals in Kenya. The results of descriptive analysis suggest that the staff leave arrangements for nurses in
public hospitals in Kenya was inadequate. Correlation analysis reported a Pearson’s correlation coefficient
of 0.627, significant at 5% level of significance. The study further established a coefficient of determination (R
square) = 0.391 suggesting that 39.1% of the variation in level of nurses’ commitment for the sample of 309
nurses can be explained by the variations in the adequacy of staff leave arrangement. t-test and the f-test
values for the adequacy of staff leave arrangements were; (t= 14.09, p< 0.05); (f =198.524, p< 0.05)
respectively suggests that adequacy of leave arrangements can significantly predict the level of commitment
of nurses in public hospitals. The results suggest that adequacy of staff leave arrangement has a statistically
significant influence on the level of commitment of nurses. It is recommended that leave arrangements
adequacy be enhanced in order to significantly improve the level of commitment of nurses in public hospitals.
