Aims: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between managerial competence level and organizational commitment among nurses in Saudi Arabia.

Background: Nurse managers who have a high degree of managerial competency and/or organizational commitment are seen as role models by their employees and can affect employees' sense of belonging to the organization.

Methods: A cross-sectional, multisite study was conducted with 226 eligible nurses working at six public hospitals in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected from March through June 2021 through an online self-administered survey. Multivariate regression was used to determine the relationship between managerial competence and organizational commitment while controlling for demographic variables.

Results: Both managerial competence (M = 152.9, SD = 48.41, range: 54-216) and organizational commitment (M = 49.4, SD = 22.15, range: 18-121) were reported to be slightly moderate among the sample. A significant positive association also existed between managerial competence and organizational commitment variables (r = .510, p < .05).

Conclusions: Future studies addressing potential issues for improving managerial competence and organizational commitment in clinical environments are recommended.

Implications For Nursing Management: Nurse administrations should use highly standard guidelines to improve nurses' managerial competence and organizational commitment.

By providing guarantees and direct lending, public export credit agencies (ECAs) de-risk and thus enable energy projects worldwide. Despite their importance for global greenhouse gas emission pathways, a systematic assessment of ECAs' role and financing patterns in the low-carbon energy transition is still needed. Using commercial transaction data, here we analyze 921 energy deals backed by ECAs from 31 OECD and non-OECD countries (excluding Canada) between 2013 and 2023.
