Aim: The Covid-19 pandemic has become a global health problem and, as leading service providers, nurses are expected to retain self-management skills and a commitment to the hospital. The research objective was to determine the effect of self-leadership and organizational commitment on the performance of nurses who served in the Covid-19 treatment ward.

Methods: A descriptive-analytic study using a cross-sectional research design was conducted. A total of 52 nurses were given a questionnaire that had been pilot tested for reliability and validity.

Results: The study found that self-leadership and organizational commitment simultaneously affected the performance of the nurses (p = 0.009). The partial effect of self-leadership on nurse performance obtained a significance of p = 0.044. Organizational commitment also obtained a partial effect on nurse performance (p = 0.025).

Conclusions: Self-leadership and organizational commitment have a positive and significant effect on the performance of nurses in the Covid-19 ward. This research expands on nursing management science knowledge and literature. Recommendations for considering the management of nursing personnel in Covid-19 wards are also discussed. Overall, self-leadership and attention to organizational commitment greatly impact optimal productivity and nurse performance.
