Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 6
Abstract
Nurses’ turnover intention has the potential to have devastating consequences on their lives, healthcare agencies and communities as a whole. It seems to be the main issue faced by many organizations due to the higher costs and losses that may occur as a result of turnover intention. Most countries are facing a shortage of nurses. Organizational commitment is one of the factors most related to the turnover intention among nurses. This study investigates the relationship between organizational commitment and turnover intention. This study utilizes a survey questionnaire distributed to 250 nurses working at three tertiary private hospitals in Najran, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The current study shows a significantly negative relationship between organizational commitment and turnover intention among nurses. The present study contributes by providing assistance to the human resource department to determine the root causes of turnover intention. Overall, this study contributes to nurses' turnover intention literature in the context of the Middle East, specifically, since the nurses are an essential part of the healthcare industry, ultimately improving the quality of healthcare services provided to patients.
