A study on the impact of Professional burnout and job autonomy on turnover intention in radiologic technologists

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the professional burnout and job autonomy of radiologic technologists on their turnover intention in hospitals. The major findings of the study were as follows: As for the average and standard deviation of the radiologic technologists in professional burnout and job autonomy, they got a mean of 3.15 in overall professional burnout, which was above the average. They got 2.88 in job autonomy, which was below the average. And they got 3.30 in turnover intention, which indicated that they had a strong tendency to change jobs. Regarding the influential factors for turnover intention, emotional burnout, loss of interest and loss of enthusiasm were identified as the factors that exerted a significant influence on turnover intention. If the kind of environments that stimulate their professional enthusiasm and allow them to make a decision on radiographic examinations based on their own professional knowledge is created, their burnout will be minimized. And the development of programs geared toward bolstering their job autonomy is expected to weaken their turnover intention, to enhance the efficiency of the Corresponding

Should I stay or should I go? The antecedents of turnover intention among police personnel

“…Thus, police personnel’s feelings about their organization are impacted by their level of job autonomy relative to controlling and scheduling their work. This finding is consistent with the previous studies conducted in developed countries, which revealed that job autonomy negatively relates to turnover intention (Avanzi et al , 2014; Ghosh et al , 2013; De Neve and Devos, 2017; Hwang and Jeong, 2011; Rathi and Lee, 2017). This may also be attributed to the extent to which police personnel in the UAE are given the degree of freedom in determining how they should perform a job as suggested by Hackman and Oldham (1976).…”
