This study was designed to investigate the turnover rate, duration of services and reason for resignation of hospital workers in order to provide the basic data concerning resignation management.
The personal data of 63 resigned workers out of 555 continuing workers from January 1st to December 31th, 1992 and another personal data of 799 workers who re-signed from January 1st, 1983 to December 31th, 1991 were analysed.
The results were as follows
1. The annual turnover rate was reduced from 21.0% in 1983 to 11.4% in 1992.
2. The turnover rate was significantly higher in the below two-year group(16.5%) than in the above five-year group(5.6%). Turnover rate was significantly different ac-cording to the age of each group of medical technicians, general workers and clerical workers.
3. No significant difference in turnover rate was found among the type of occupation. However, the highest turnover rate was recorded in the groups of doctors and pharmacists (20.3%), and followed by the groups of clerical workers, nutritive workers, registered nurses, medical technicians and general workers in descending order.
4. The average duration of services of the resigned workers was 3.4 years in 1992 and was not significantly related to the type of occupation. The general workers group revealed the longest duration of services(5.8 years) and followed by the groups of clerical workers, registered nurses, doctors and pharmacists, medical technicians and nutritive workers in decending order.
For the last ten years, the average durations of services of the resigned workers were 4.3 years in the clerical workers group and the general workers group each, 3.7 years in the nutritive workers group, and 3.5 years in the registered nurses group, the doctors and pharmacists group and the medical technicians group each.
5. The most frequent reason for resignation was for new employment opportunity (42.80) and the fewest for end contract (4.890"). The chief reason for resignation was for a new employment opportunity in the doctors and pharmacists group, medical technicians group and clerical workers group while personal reason was the chief reason in the registered nurses group, general workers group and nutritive workers group.
