Abstract

This chapter examines the evaluation of anesthesia professionals by focusing on the psychosocial and organizational factors that impact their performance. Traditional assessments tend to emphasize technical skills but often neglect critical influences such as job satisfaction, stress, and organizational support. Using Allen and Meyer's Organizational Commitment Model, the review explores how affective, continuance, and normative commitment shape professional behavior in high-pressure environments like anesthesiology. The findings highlight that beyond technical competence, psychosocial well-being and organizational dynamics, including leadership and team culture, are crucial to ensuring optimal performance. The chapter suggests that pre- and post-intervention questionnaires can provide valuable insights into these factors, advocating for a more integrated approach to performance evaluation in anesthesiology.
