A Prediction Model on the Male Nurses' Turnover Intention

Abstract

Purpose:The purpose of this study was to develop and test a predictive model on the male nurses' turnover intention. Methods: This study utilized the model-testing design based on the Price's causal model of turnover. This study collected data from 306 male nurses on a national scale with structured questionnaires measuring job opportunity, kinship responsibility, positive emotion, work autonomy, role conflict, work satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover intention. The data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 22.0 program and AMOS 20.0 program. Results: As the outcomes satisfied the recommended level, the hypothetical model appeared to fit the data. Twenty-seven of the 38 hypotheses selected for the hypothetical model were statistically significant. 54.2% of turnover intention was explained by job opportunity, kinship responsibility, positive emotion, work autonomy, role conflict, work satisfaction and organizational commitment. Conclusion: The hypothetical model of this study was confirmed to be adequate in explaining and predicting male nurses' turnover intention. Findings from this study can be used to design appropriate strategies to decrease the male nurse's turnover intention.

Factors Influencing Turnover Intention among Male Nurses in Korea

“…In this study, we analyzed data previously obtained from all regions in Korea using a model for turnover intention among male nurses, specifically including one megacity (Seoul), six major cities (Busan, Incheon, Daegu, Gwangju, Daejeon, and Ulsan), and nine states (Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Chungbuk, Chungnam, Gyeongbuk, Gyeongnam, Jeonbuk, Jeonnam, and Jeju) [ 36 ]. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) male nurses who had worked at their current hospitals for more than 3 months and (2) gave their consent to participate [ 36 ].…”

Male nurses’ adaptation experiences after turnover to community institutions in Korea: A grounded theory methodology

“…Some of the study participants left the clinical sector because of difficulties that they experienced as men, such as gender role stereotypes, the burden of raising a family, the absence of male nurse role models, and difficulties with performing multiple tasks at the same time. Social prejudice against male nurses exists, and patients who are unfamiliar with being nursed by males may have negative reactions [ 1 , 27 , 28 ]. The public perception that nursing is a traditionally female-dominated profession is an obstacle to male nurses’ recruitment and professional development [ 29 ].…”

Factors Influencing Organizational Commitment Among Male Nurses in Korea

“…Consequently, their work authorization and limitation of liability are not clear and thus role conflicts are caused. This impacts negatively on their job satisfaction and organizational commitment [4].…”
