New Nurse Turnover Intention and Influencing Factors

Abstract

Purpose:The study was done to identify turnover intention in new nurses according to characteristics of the nurses and other factors affecting turnover and to provide data to set up a strategy to reduce the turnover. Methods: Data were collected from 1,077 new nurses who had less than 12 months employment experience and worked in one of 188 hospitals. Eight research instruments were used. Data analysis was done using SPSS WIN 15.0 program. Results: Several factors influence new nurse turnover intention. The average score for turnover intention was 2.12. The scores for subscales were self efficacy, 3.76, nursing performance, 3.90, job satisfaction, 2.09, organization commitment, 1.28, stress, 1.32, burnout, 2.82 and nursing organizational culture, 3.29. Turnover intention was related to self efficacy, nursing performance, job satisfaction, organization commitment, stress, burnout, nursing organizational culture, duration of in-class training, duration of on the job training, number of hospital beds, length of employment and duration of employment in current workplace. The predicting factors for turnover intention were burnout, stress, duration of employment in the current workplace, self efficacy and nursing performance. Those factors explained 51.6% of turnover intention. Conclusion: New nurse turnover intention can be reduced by mitigating the factors affecting this intention.

Burnout, Emotional Labor and Emotional Intelligence of Psychological Nurses

“…It can be said that appropriate support and planning must be established to prevent burnout of psychological nurses from counseling, therapeutical activities, education that require high level expertise, frequent recurrence of patients, psychological emergencies such as suicide or violence, and occurrence of accidents [1] Emotional intelligence varied depending on general characteristics such as age, education career, and job satisfaction. As result of this study, emotional intelligence increased as career was longer in which this is identical to the research results by Han, Sohn & Kim [19] that good relationships and effective communication can take place with subjects due to increase of emotional intelligence by increase of age or career. Also, emotional intelligence increased with higher education in which this is identical to the research results by Kim et al [20].…”

The relationship between South Korean clinical nurses' attitudes toward organizations and voluntary turnover intention: A path analysis

“…A growing body of literature reports that voluntary turnover rate is positively correlated with voluntary turnover intention and that a useful strategy for reducing turnover rate is to reduce clinical nurses' voluntary turnover intention. 7,8 Clinical nurses who reported high levels of voluntary turnover intention tended to have a weaker commitment to both the organization and nursing practice than those who reported no voluntary turnover intention, leading to actual turnover and inducing voluntary turnover intention among other clinical nurses. 2,6 Hence, studies related to nursing turnover have attempted to explore various factors influencing voluntary turnover intention among clinical nurses.…”

“…Attitudes toward their organizations, specifically with regard to job embeddedness, organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behaviour and satisfaction with organizational rewards, have been reported to be factors influencing voluntary turnover intention among nurses. 7,9 Previous studies have reported that job embeddedness is negatively correlated with turnover intention and is also a significant predictor of nurse retention. [10][11][12] In addition, organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behaviour and satisfaction with rewards were also associated with lessening turnover intention among nurses.…”
