摘要：This study investigated the influence of work environment and supervision style on health workers commitment to the University of Cape Coast. A total of 237 randomly selected health workers of the university hospital completed the questionnaire, comprising 33 close-ended items related to work environment, supervision style, staff satisfaction with their work, staff commitment to the department/unit and staff commitment to the university. The instrument used for the study was a sixpoint Likert scale questionnaire. The Cronbach’s alpha was used to test for the reliability of the instrument. The reliability coefficient was .798. Data for the study were analysed using Pearson Product Moment correlation and multiple regression analyses. It was found out that work environment and supervision style relate positively to health workers commitment to the university; however, the two main variables do not directly predict health workers commitment to the university. They do so only if health workers are satisfied with their work and also are committed to their various departments/units in the hospital. It is therefore recommended that management of the university should ensure that the work environment of the hospital is safe, equipped with modern technology and conducive enough to boost staff satisfaction and commitment to the various departments in the hospital. Management should also use appropriate supervision strategies in the hospital, as this increases health workers commitment to the departments. If staff supervision goes pari passu with attractive work environment, the health workers will have satisfaction with their work, and they will be more committed to their departments and to the university as a whole.
