Abstract

High turnover of nurses is detrimental to patients’ well-being and costly to the organizations. Study was conducted in private hospitals considering their high rate of nurse attrition. Research has indicated that Job satisfaction and commitments to the organization, occupation, and group influenced the turnover of the employees in several countries. Some studies have also shown interrelationships between job satisfaction and commitments. India is culturally different from those countries and cultural variation plays a significant role in job satisfaction and these commitments. The study showed that job satisfaction, affective commitment, and occupational commitment of nurses negatively relate to their turnover intentions, although no significant relationship between group commitments and turnover intentions was established. Job satisfaction and group commitment significantly relate to affective commitments and group commitment relate to job satisfaction of the nurses. Affective commitments mediate in the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention of nurses. Relationship between occupational commitment with that of job satisfaction, affective and group commitments was not found significant. This research may help health-care managers to devise suitable plan for retention of nurses.
