The research instruments used were a questionnaire asking about personal data and the performance of duty of nursing personnel.The content validity index was 0.98, and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.86 The statistics used were descriptive statistics of frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation; and inferential statistics of paired t-test.
The study found that the mean for the performance of duty among the personnel in before the experiment was at a moderate level of 2.92 ( = 2.92, SD = .12) no significant difference but that of after the experiment was at the highest level of 4.62(
= 4.62, SD = .13) The statistical test showed that the mean score for the performance of duty among the personnel in after the experimental with rotational assignments was most level than that of the before with regular assignments at a statistical significance of (p < .05)
