This study aims to provide researchers and practitioners with a more elaborate instrument to measure turnover intentions based on the planned behaviour theory model. The questionnaire assesses 5 distinct aspects of turnover intentions (i.e., subjective social status, organisational culture, personal orientation, expectations, and career growth). We demonstrate the reliability, factor structure, and validity evidence based on internal structure and relationship with other variables of the new measure among two samples (N1 = 622; N2 = 433). In total, the study indicates that the assessment can be used to reliably assess several major indicators of turnover intentions.

There has been much research linking role-based stress to burnout among nurses, but there has been little effort to study the moderating role of self-efficacy in this link in the Nigerian nurses. Considering the theoretical assumptions of the job demand-resources model linking role-based stress and self-efficacy to burnout, this cross-sectional study investigated the moderating role of self-efficacy in role-based and burnout relations among nurses in Enugu urban area of Enugu State, Nigeria. One hundred and seventy (170) nurses, comprising 43 males and 127 females between the ages of 22 to 55 years were sampled using multi-stage sampling techniques. The 15-item Job Tension Scale, 22-item Burnout Inventory and 10-item Generalized Self-efficacy Scale were administered for data collection. Results of moderated regression analysis revealed that role-based stress and emotional self-efficacy did not equally predict the components of burnout. Self-efficacy positively moderated only feeling of reduced personal accomplishment component of burnout. Role-based stress and self-efficacy accounted for 3.1% of the variance in emotional exhaustion of the nurses, 11.8 % of variance in dehumanization and 35.3% in feeling of reduced personal accomplishment. Specifically, role-based stress independently and positively predicted feeling of reduced personal accomplishment but not emotional exhaustion and dehumanization. Self-efficacy independently and negatively predicted emotional exhaustion, dehumanization and feeling of reduced personal accomplishment. The study has recommended that policy makers in nursing/health sector should reduce role-based stress while enhancing selfefficacy in order to reduce burnout. Contribution/ Originality: This study is one of very few studies which have investigated the moderating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between role-based stress and burnout among nurses in a non-Western context. 1. INTRODUCTION The role responsibilities of the helping professionals such as nurses occupy the major part of their lives in terms of time, effort and importance which may result in role-based stress and likely make them vulnerable to burnout, hence the need for the present study. Moreover, burnout is a topic of major interest because it has consequential implications for both individuals and organizations (Cropanzano, Rupp, & Byrne, 2003). From individual perspective, burnout is related to a myriad of health related issues, including anxiety, depression,
