| Abstract |
This study was intended to provide a basic resource for development of methods to lower the turnover intention of nurses in their early careers by finding out their turnover intention influence factors based on ecosystem model. This study was done targeting nurses with less than 36 year experience who worked in a hospital located in S-si from August 21 to September 15, 2017. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS program through t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test and hierarchical regression. The analysis result to find out the effects of ecological characteristics on turnover intention showed that the variables that had statistically significant effects were work experience(β=.319, p=<.001) and ego - resilience(β=-.276, p=.002) of individual factor, and co-workers' support(β=-.235, p=.008) and division where they work(β=-.171, p=.033) of mesosystem factor. The explanation power of these variables on turnover intention was 43.1%. Therefore, to reduce their turnover intention, it is necessary to develop and apply programs to enhance ego - resilience, and to develop and apply interventions that can form effective support systems among coworkers in the divisions. Especially those with 13~36 months of experiences had higher turnover intention, so there should be efforts of organizations to lower those nurses' turnover intention. |
