Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the mediating effects of self-efficacy on the relationship between job stress and turnover intention of paramedics in hospitals. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 209 paramedics in hospitals from September 4 to 24, 2015. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis using Baron & Kenny's 3 step procedure. Indirect effect was confirmed with Sobel test using SPSS/Win 22.0 program. Results: There were negative relationships between job stress, self-efficacy, and turnover intention (r=-.509, p<.001). There was a negative relationship between job stress and self efficacy (r=-.821, p<.001). The self-efficacy and turnover intention showed a positive relationship (r=.636, p<.001) with job stress and turnover intention. Concerning the mediated effect of self efficacy on job stress and turnover intention, the influence of job stress at step 2 on turnover intention was significant (B=1.207, p<.001), while job stress at step 3 had significant influence on turnover intention (B=.474, p<.001). The mediated effect of self-efficacy on job stress and turnover intention showed significant partially mediated effect of self-efficacy (z=7.100, p<.001). Conclusion: Improvement of self-efficacy and job stress was effective at decreasing turnover intention in paramedics in hospitals.
