Introduction: Organizational commitment is a critical factor in achieving organizational goals, understanding organizational behavior, and is an important element in improving the quality of care. On the other hand, clinical competence of nurses affects the effectiveness and success of health care organizations.

Material & Methods: A descriptive correlational study was conducted among nurses in a hospital in Najaf Abad city, Isfahan province, 2015. In this study a total of 135 nurses were included via census method. The tools included self reported questionnaires consisting personal information inventory, organizational commitment questionnaire (including three dimensions; affective, normative and continuance commitment), and clinical competence questionnaire (in seven dimensions for assessing 73 skills), whose validity and validity were confirmed by Alpha- Chronbach that were 0.79 and 0.95 respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (distribution tables, mean, standard deviation) and Pearson correlation coefficient test using SPSS version 17 (P <0.05).
Results: The clinical competence of nurses was good (74.42 ± 11.69) and their organizational commitment was moderate (91 ± 10.77).
Overall organizational commitment had a positive correlation with clinical competence in the areas of quality assurance (r=0.256, P = 0.002) and education and guidance (r=0.176, P = 0.037). In addition, emotional commitment had a direct correlation with total clinical competence (r=0.170, P = 0.045) and dimensions of quality assurance (r=0.185, P = 0.028), education and guidance (r=0.190, P = 0.024), and diagnostic measures (r=0.205, P = 0.015).
