Effect of Nurses’ Grit on Nursing Job Performance and the Double Mediating Effect of Job Satisfaction and Organizational Commitment
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Dear All,
It was with great interest that I read the paper entitled Effect of Nurses’ Grit
on Nursing Job Performance and the Double Mediating Effect of Job Satisfaction and Organizational Commitment.
While revising the article, the following issues need to be clarified:
- Why did the authors of the study choose the nurses with more than six months of working experience and did not include the nurses working less than 3 months?
- What, according to the authors of the paper, is the is the reason behind such low mean age of nurses, namely 27.35 years? This might come as shocking, especially for Western European countries, where the average age is 45 years, or reaches even
50 years.
The issues mentioned above are particularly important when it comes to job satisfaction, because, as many studies have shown before, it is the length of service (seniority) that is one of the factors shaping job satisfaction parameter in the discussed group of professionals.

I have to admit that the sample is not too large to be able to draw these conclusions. However, the paper is correct. It is well focused and its methodology is impeccable.
I believe it will be a highly cited paper.
