Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the predictors of turnover intention among nurses working in small and medium-sized hospitals in South Korea.
Methods: Data were obtained from a survey conducted in 2016 on welfare policy and system improvement. The participants were nurses of the Korean Nurses Association who worked in small and medium-sized hospitals. The responses of 2,011 nurses were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression analysis, which was performed to explore the predictors of nurses’ turnover intentions.
Results: The findings of this study showed that the predictors significantly reducing nurses’ desire to leave their hospitals were a 40-hour workweek, satisfaction with the salary, and six out of the 40 fringe benefits provided by their hospitals: the provision of uniforms and work shoes, paid menstrual leave, operational costs for the department, job-related educational costs, and in-house nurse training program.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that hospitals should provide proper work hours and reasonable rewards for nurses' work in order to reduce turnover intention among their nurses.
