Turnover intention linking compulsory citizenship behaviours to social loafing in nurses: A mediation analysis

Abstract

Aims To propose a theoretical model of social loafing behaviours and to examine the effects of compulsory citizenship behaviours and turnover intention on nurses' social loafing behaviour. Method This cross‐sectional study included 264 nurses working in public hospitals in Istanbul, Turkey. The data were gathered by using a snowball sampling method and analysed using descriptive statistical analyses, F test, t test, Pearson's correlation analysis and multiple and hierarchical linear regression analyses. Results Results indicated that compulsory citizenship behaviours were positively associated with turnover intention and social loafing. Turnover intention fully mediated the relationship between compulsory citizenship behaviours and social loafing. Conclusion Nurses who exhibit compulsory citizenship behaviours have developed turnover intentions to conserve their well‐being, which led to social loafing as a resource recovery tactic. Implications for Nursing Management Training should be provided for managers and nurses to raise awareness about the possible negative effects of compulsory citizenship behaviours. To manage social loafing and turnover intention, effective and proactive solution‐oriented strategies should be implemented.

Proactive Personality and Creative Performance: Mediating Roles of Creative Self-Efficacy and Moderated Mediation Role of Psychological Safety

“…This is because employees are expected to exhibit compulsory creative performance, which can misrepresent the actual situation due to fear of pressure from managers or colleagues. Following previous studies' suggestion using this non-probability method [52,53], we could more effectively select sample groups based on our judgment and preference for their research objectives. We collected data by administering online and offline questionnaires to Korean manufacturing and service firms.…”

Relationship between work–family conflict and turnover intention in nurses: A meta‐analytic review

“…In the ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic, which has a massive impact on business and life, pressure on healthcare employees and increasing workloads have gone beyond the normal (Yildiz & Elibol, 2020). Particularly, the resulting overload has caused employees to sacrifice themselves to save others’ lives and neglect their family lives.…”

The Mediated Moderating Role of Organizational Learning Culture in the Relationships among Authentic Leadership, Leader-Member Exchange, and Employees’ Innovative Behavior

“…The adopted sampling strategy was intentional judgment sampling, a non-probability-based sampling method. Previous studies using this non-probability method [40][41][42] show that authors more effectively select sample groups based on their judgment and preference for their research objectives. Considering the specific characteristics of employees' innovative behavior analyzed, we adopted this sampling technique because both leaders and employees expected to exhibit compulsory authentic leadership and innovative behavior can misrepresent the actual situation due to fear of pressure from managers or colleagues.…”
