Methods By convenient sampling method, 722 nurses were investigated with Job Embeddedness Questionnaire, Psychological Capital Questionnaire, Organizational Commitment Questionnaire and Nurses' Intention to Stay Questionnaire.Path analysis was made on relations between the variants. Results Night shift intervals pose positive influence on nurses' psychological capital, organizational commitment and intention to stay.Psychological capital can influence job embeddedness by both directly and indirectly, and can influence their intention to stay indirectly.Organizational commitment can influence job embeddedness strongly and directly(r=0.494), and their intention to stay both directly and indirectly.Job embeddedness can influence their intention to stay directly(r=0.453). The model fitting is found desirable. Conclusions Nursing managers can enhance nurses' organizational commitment by developing the psychological capital to enhance nurses' organizational commitment effectively.Nurses with higher level of psychological capital and organization commitment will embed into their workplace more deeply, then increasing their intention to stay ultimately.
