A Predictive Model for Turnover Intentions of Emergency Room Nurses Using Structural Equation Modeling

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It is extremely important in the emergency room(ER) to secure the manpower with highly trained skills and specialized knowledge and to maintain the optimal number of nurses working. Hence this study aims to present the direction for establishing an efficient human resources management plan by exploring the direct/indirect paths to the turnover intention of ER nurses, and also constructing a structural model. This study were collected using a structured questionnaire from nurses working for ER departments of 13 general hospitals located in 8 provinces in Korea from August 2nd to September 20th, 2013. Two hundred fifty-five participants were recruited by convenient sampling and 236 were collected. Data was analyzed through the structural equation model. The direct factor that had a direct effect on ER nurses’ intention of turnover was job satisfaction and the hardiness proven by parameter appeared to have a positive effect on job satisfaction and quality of life of processionals. The only variable directly influencing turnover intention on ER nurses is job satisfaction, and hardiness and professional self-concept significantly affect job satisfaction. Hardiness and professional self-concept would reduce actual turnover of ER nurses through job satisfaction. Also various interventions increasing job satisfaction need to be developed based on the special context of ER.
