Methods: The sample for this study consisted of 224 nurses from four general hospitals of less than 500 beds located in Seoul and Gyunggi Province. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson Correlation and Hierarchical Multiple Regression. Results: It was found that: (a) Job embeddedness and emotional intelligence had negative effects on turnover intension; (b) Emotional intelligence moderated the relationship between job embeddedness and turnover intension, but empowerment did not. Conclusion: Findings indicate a need to reduce the degree of turnover by enhancing job embeddednesss among general hospital nurses. Further research needs to be done to refine this study.

Among its sub-areas, they scored highest for self emotion appraisal and lowest for regulation of emotion, consistent with the literature review [16].…”

“…최근 소진에 관한 연구들은 개인에게 긍정적인 영향을 주어 소진을 조절하는 변수로 임파워먼트와 감성지능을 제 시하였다 (Jeon JH et al, 2014). 임파워먼트는 개인의 역 량을 강화하여 개인내적 측면에서 변화할 수 있는 힘을 갖 게 되는 과정이며 자신을 믿고 스스로 책임지는 능력 및 중요한 선택을 결정하는 자기 통제적인 힘을 가진 상태를 의미한다 (Bolton et al, 1998 (Byun DS et al, 2009;Lee JY et al, 2007)…”
