Abstract: This study explores the moderating role of religiosity in the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and organizational commitment among nurses at Columbia Asia, a private hospital in Taiping, Malaysia. A total of 99 nurses participated in the study, responding to a structured questionnaire assessing emotional intelligence, organizational commitment, and religiosity. Using hierarchical multiple regression analysis, the findings indicate that religiosity significantly moderates the relationship between emotional intelligence and organizational commitment. Specifically, nurses with higher levels of religiosity demonstrated a stronger positive relationship between their emotional intelligence and commitment to the organization. These results suggest that religiosity enhances the impact of emotional intelligence on organizational commitment, highlighting the importance of considering both emotional and spiritual dimensions in fostering a committed and resilient nursing workforce. The study offers practical implications for healthcare organizations, emphasizing the value of addressing the emotional and spiritual needs of nurses to improve retention, job satisfaction, and overall organizational commitment. Future research should explore these dynamics in other healthcare settings, including teaching hospitals, and consider the cultural and religious diversity of nursing populations to further understand the role of religiosity in workplace outcomes.
