Abstract

Given the strategic benefit of retaining employees, the need for identifying factors that drive employee retention has attracted the attention of both scholars and practitioners in the past few decades. Grounded on the self-determination theory of motivation, the purpose of this quantitative study with correlational design was to examine he relationship between normative commitment and turnover intention among healthcare internal auditors in the United States. The results of a correlational analysis using data from 92 healthcare internal auditors member of AHIA show a negative and significant relationship between normative commitment and turnover intention (r=-.248, p=.03).
