Abstract

Purpose: This review aimed to integrate the results of studies related to job embeddedness of clinical nurses and suggest directions for future research.
Methods: A search for relevant studies was conducted using six databases according to the predetermined index terms ¡°nurse¡± and ¡°job embeddedness.¡± A total of 28 studies that met the inclusion criteria were selected and analyzed.
Results: The definition of job embeddedness was consistent in the articles, but the terms, scope, and use of tools to determine job embeddedness were not. In addition, no article suggested a theoretical framework. In all the studies except one, the tool used to measure job embeddedness was one revised from Mitchell et al. (2001). In 15 articles, a negative correlation was found between job turnover and turnover intention. Job embeddedness was also found to be associated with nurses¡¯ work environment, organizational citizenship behavior, and organizational commitment, and it had a positive impact on these variables.
Conclusion: Job embeddedness can be used as a major variable to explain nurses¡¯s turnover intention. Job embeddedness is multidimensional, and a theoretical framework is needed to explain the job embeddedness of clinical nurses. Tools specific to Korea should be developed to measure the job embeddedness of Korean clinical nurses.
