- Abstract
- Background: Job embeddedness indicates the degree to which an employee of an organization intends to remain in his or her position at that organization. This study examined how job embeddedness affects infection control nurses' turnover intention along with general characteristics, job satisfaction, and perceived job alternatives. Methods: We collected data from a total of 133 infection control nurses using self-reporting questionnaire methods. All questions were answered on a 5-point Likert scale. Results: The average turnover intention was 3.01 +/- 0.72 (100-point conversion, 60.2%), and average job satisfaction was 3.48 +/- 0.79 (100-point conversion, 69.6%). The average perceived availability of job alternatives was 3.02 +/- 0.78 (100-point conversion, 60.4%), and average job embeddedness was 3.33 +/- 0.57 (100-point conversion, 66.6%). Predictors of turnover intention were monthly income, perceived availability of job alternatives, and job embeddedness. Job embeddedness among predictors has high explanatory power as a predictor of infection control nurses' turnover intention. Conclusion: Through this study we identified predictors of turnover intention and found that job embeddedness among predictors has high explanatory power as a predictor of infection control nurses' turnover intention. Strategies to enhance infection control nurses' job embeddedness are needed. Copyright (C) 2015 by the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc.
