The impact of work support and organizational career growth on nurse turnover intention in China

Objective:The paper aimed to explore the impact of work support and potential for career advancement on the nurse turnover intention in order to find an effective approach to curb high turnover.Methods:A cross-sectional survey of 526 nurses from eight teaching hospitals in Tianjin,China,was conducted to test the hypothesized multilevel model.The organizational career growth scale,work support scale,and the nurse turnover intention scale were used to measure the effect of organizational career growth and work support on nurse turnover intention.Finally,SPSS 17.0 and AMOS 17.0 software were used to analyse the relationship of these variables.Results:The score of the three scales nurse turnover,organizational career growth,and work support were 1.98±0.60,2.40±0.50,and 4.06±0.98,respectively.The total and direct effects of work support on turnover intention were
0.361(p<0.01)and
0.147(p<0.01),respectively.The indirect effect was
0.169 with a 95%bootstrap confidence interval of
0.257 to
0.102.Conclusion:The study showed a lack of work support negatively and directly associated with nurse turnover intention.Additional opportunities for career growth within the organization may strengthen the effect of work support and consequently increase the retention of qualified nursing staff.

Exploring the Relationship between Work Engagement and Turnover Intention among Nurses in the Kingdom of Bahrain: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background & Aim: Employees’ engagement is a significant organizational competence. Turnover intention is an institutional concern that needs critical analysis of identifying its predictors. Studies have supported the relationship between nurses’ engagement and their desire to leave the organization. This study aims to explore the relationship between work engagement and turnover intention among nurses working in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used for this study. A group of 922 nurses from a major tertiary hospital in the Kingdom of Bahrain was invited to complete the online self-administered survey. The work engagement was assessed using the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES). The turnover intention was assessed using the 3-item TI Scale based on Mobley et al. survey. The study was conducted in December 2019. Results: 610 nurses completed the survey on a response rate of (66.2%). The result suggests that nurses expressed high level of work engagement Mean ± Standard Deviation [M = 4.85, SD ± 0.70], and low level of turnover intention [M = 2.29, SD ± 0.94]. Pearson correlation revealed a significant negative relationship between work engagement and turnover intention at p < 0.01. Furthermore, male staff have higher intention to leave. Those working in ambulatory division have higher work engagement than nurses working in critical care division. Conclusion/practical implication: It’s paramount for the nurses’ leaders and human resource development practitioners to focus on work engagement dimensions, and developing effective interventions to improve it, which eventually decreases nursing staff’s turnover intention. Retention is more preferable than recruiting, employing, and training new staff. This study confirms the significant relationship between work engagement and turnover intention among nurses.

The Study of Nurse’s Work Alienation and Its Influence on Turnover Intention

Background: Nurse turnover is a significant cause of human resource shortage, which not only increases the workload of existing nurses, reduces job satisfaction, but also affects the quality of care. Therefore, maintaining the stability of nursing human resources becomes a great concern. Objective: To understand the current status of nurse work alienation and turnover intention and its correlationship. Methods: By convenience sampling, from May to August 2021, 1112 cases were selected and investigated from three hospitals in Wuhan by using general demographic scale, the work alienation scale and turnover intention scale. Results: The average score of nurse’s work alienation was (30.32 ± 9.84);turnover intention score was (14.83 ± 3.99). The dimensions of work alienation were positively correlated with turnover intention (P Conclusion: Nurse’s work alienation and turnover intention are in the moderate level. It is recommended that manager should focus on the nurse’s mental environments, and take active and effective measures to reduce the level of nurse’s work alienation, improving the job satisfaction of nurse and the quality of nursing work.

A cross-sectional study on nurse turnover intention and influencing factors in Jiangsu Province, China

Background:Nurses'turnover has been a major concern globally,which is strongly influenced by nurses'intent to leave.However,only a few large sample studies on the predictive factors associated with nurses'turnover intention were conducted in Jiangsu Province.This study mainly aims to examine the level and factors that influence nurses to leave their work in Jiangsu Province of Eastern China.Methods:A cross-sectional survey of 1978 nurses was conducted at 48 hospitals in 14 key cities throughout Jiangsu Province.The turnover intention in nurses was measured by the scale of intent to leave the profession.The work environment of nurses was measured by the Chinese version of the Practice Environment Scale.A multiple linear regression model was applied to analyse the factors associated with turnover intention.Results:The resignation rate of nurses in the hospitals of Jiangsu Province ranged from 0.64%to 12.71%in 2016.The mean scores were 15.50±3.44 for turnover intention,and 3.06±0.51 for work environment.Involvement in hospital affairs,resource adequacy,age,professional title,year(s)working,employment type and education level were the predictors of nurse intent to leave(P<0.05).Conclusion:The work environment of nurses in hospitals must be improved in staffing and resource and nurses'involvement in hospital affairs.The current study corroborates that nurses have high turnover intention.Thus,effective measures are needed to improve nurse accomplishment,professional status,participation in hospital affairs and career planning to reduce their turnover intention.

Examining perception of job satisfaction and intention to leave among ICU nurses in China

Objectives:Previous studies in China's Mainland found ICU nurses to be less satisfied with their jobs and more inclined to leave them than are nurses in other hospital units.We aimed to determine ICU nurses'perspectives on the factors that influence job satisfaction and whether or not to continue working in the ICU.Methods:Nine ICU nurses were asked five open-ended questions to elicit the nurses'perspectives on job satisfaction and intentions to leave.Data were analyzed according to the process described by Knafl and Webster(1988).Core concepts were identified using the constant comparative method.Results:Two themes emerged as major influences on job dissatisfaction:1)stress experienced from excessive workload demands and the ICU work environment,and 2)a lack of respect and recognition for the nurses'work.Two themes emerged as major influences on job satisfaction:1)recognition of work,and 2)professional opportunities and relationships with coworkers.The effects of job satisfaction or dissatisfaction on the nurses'intentions to leave their jobs varied,although three categories were identified.Conclusions:For ICU nurses in China,sources of job dissatisfaction are potentially remedied with simple interventions.Adequate staffing is necessary but not sufficient for a positive work environment.Administrators should address the factors that directly affect their nurses'levels of job satisfaction,as it will ultimately result in less staff turnover and greater patient care.

Factors Influencing the Employment Intentions of High-level Talent in Sichuan Province

Based on available survey data and related literature regarding the employment intentions of high-level talent in Sichuan province,the factors influencing employment intentions were policy support,livability degree,social relations,and employment environments.By using the maximum likelihood estimation(MLE)function of structural equation modeling(SEM),the results indicated that these factors,if positive,could significantly enhance intentions to work in Sichuan.The cultural climate seems to have no obvious effect on intentions,but it indeed indirectly enhances their intentions by influencing the employment environments.To this end,provincial government authorities should carry out targeted policy support and campaigns to maximize the likelihood of attracting high-level talent.Efforts should also be made to maximize pull factors and minimize push factors to improve talent services and build a favorable living,working,and cultural environment for talent.Meanwhile,high-level talent should also make full use of the social capital and seize employment opportunities in a timely and accurate manner.
