Effects of Decision Making Competency, Nursing Professionalism, and Job Satisfaction on Turnover Impulse among Nurses

Abstract

Purpose:The study was undertaken to investigate effects of decision making competency, nursing professionalism and job satisfaction on turnover impulse, and identify factors contributing to turnover impulse among nurses. Methods: The study was a descriptive study with 231 nurses from 4 general tertiary hospitals participating. Data were collected during March, 2013 using a structured self-report questionnaire. Decision making competency, nursing professionalism, and job satisfaction were measured with validated instruments, and turnover impulse was measured with one question using a 5-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression. Results: The significant predictors of turnover impulse among nurses were professionalism (β=-0.18, p=.015) and job satisfaction (β=-0.18, p=.009). These variables explained 12% of the variance in turnover impulse among nurses. Conclusion: The results indicate that nursing managers need to put efforts in improving nurses' job satisfaction and to develop plans to increase nursing professionalism in order to reduce nurses' turnover impulse.

Clinical Work and Life of Mid-Career Male Nurses: A Qualitative Study

“…This increase in the number of male nurses could be attributed to changing social norms that led to gender stereotypes being less pervasive and allowed individuals to select jobs that best suit their aptitude, and to the increased flexibility of members of the younger generation in terms of their job perceptions [4]. In addition, important factors that influence men's decision to enter nursing include the ease of obtaining a nursing job [5], the relatively high salary drawn as a new employee [6], and the anticipation of faster achievement in a field in which men are a minority [7,8].…”
