Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effects of job satisfaction on turnover intention among the nurses in geriatric hospitals. In terms of study methods, this study developed structured questionnaires, and distributed them to nurses working in 11 geriatric hospitals in metropolitan area. A total of 418 questionnaires (response rate: 87.0%) were used for final analysis. We conducted multiple regression analyses to analyze the influence of job satisfaction on turnover intention, adjusting for the characteristics of the research subjects. The results of this study are as follows. First, both job satisfaction and turnover intention were statistically significantly related to individual and hospital characteristics. Second, turnover intention was lower in older age group, and higher in smaller hospitals. As job satisfaction increases, turnover intention decreases. Third, the results of the regression analysis adjusting for subject's characteristics and job satisfaction's sub-categories show that the turnover intention is lower in nurses who are older, day worker, and work in bigger hospitals. Fourth, the result of subgroup analysis by hospital volume show that both of two groups are influenced by hospital ownership and satisfaction about compensation. In addition, professionalism had a significant effect on decreasing turnover intention in smaller hospitals. However, there was no statistically significant relationship between job satisfaction's sub-categories and turnover intention in larger hospitals. The results of this study confirms that job satisfaction lowers turnover intention among nurses in geriatric hospitals. It is suggested that the administrators of those hospitals continue to monitor critical factors associated with job satisfaction, and thus, reduce turnover intention, which helps improve quality of services.
