Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Employee turnover is a problem faced by most of the sectors and it is also applicable to health sector too. Lack of nurses and nurse turnover represent problems for the healthcare system in terms of cost, the ability to care for patients and the quality of care. At a time of current nursing shortage, it is important to understand the reasons why nurses intend to leave the profession. This study thus focused on the factors influencing intention to quit among the nursing professionals. The data were collected from 180 nurses using an interview schedule. The findings of the study reveal that demographic factors - age, education, monthly income and years of experience influence the level of intention to quit. The level of Job stress, job satisfaction and organization commitment do influence the level of intention to quit among the nurses.
