The low organizational commitment of nurses in 5 Level II hospitals is one of the problems in realizing excellent health services. Based on theoretical studies, it is suspected that the hospital’s transformational leadership and the level of empowerment nurses feel are factors causing low organizational commitment mediated by job satisfaction. This study aims to analyze and prove these causal factors as a model. The research method was carried out quantitatively using a purposive sampling technique to obtain data from 362 nurses based on a questionnaire using a Likert scale five instrument. Data processing using Amos’ Structural Equation Model (SEM) yielded important findings that job satisfaction has a fully mediated role, so transformational leadership and psychological empowerment cannot directly influence organizational commitment but must mediate job satisfaction. An important finding from this study is that the characteristics of the work experience and age of the nurses influence psychological empowerment and transformational leadership. The higher the nurse’s age and level of work experience, the more positive it will be to agree with the transformational leadership style of the head of the hospital and agree with the intention not to leave the organization. Therefore organizations should pay special attention to nurses who are still lacking in experience and are relatively young to be given training related to career development. For further research, replacing or adding other exogenous variables such as organizational culture, abilities, and personality is suggested.
