Abstract

Background and purpose: Shortage of nurses and turnover (or leaving occupation) among them have created big problems in view of giving services to patients, care quality, and treatment expenses. The factors effective of nurses' turnover have significant effects on organizational performance. One of the important prerequisites for nurses' turnover intention is leadership and job stress. Ethical leadership provides commitment and loyalty in personnel and as a result they will have no serious decision to leave their organizations. The present study was aimed to understand the effects of ethical leadership on nurses' turnover intention. Job stress was examined as a moderating variable between ethical leadership and turnover intention. The results of this study indicated that there was a negative, significant association between ethical leadership and turnover intention, and a positive, significant association between job stress and turnover intention. Furthermore, between ethical leadership and job stress, there was a negative, significant association.
