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.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United Stateshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/Influence, Staff Leave Arrangements, Commitment, Nurses, Public HospitalsArticle
