Factors Influencing Turnover Intention of Registered Nurses in General Hospitals : A Focus on Effort-Reward Imbalance

Purpose : This study aimed to identify the factors influencing turnover intention of registered nurses in general hospitals, focusing on job-esteem, effort-reward imbalance and quality of nursing work life. Methods : Participants were 178 nurses working at four general hospitals with more than 300 beds in D and K cities. Data were collected from January 8 to 13, 2024, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis. Results : Turnover intention was significantly correlated with job-esteem(r＝-.20, p＝.009), effort-reward imbalance(r＝.47, p＜.001), quality of nursing work life(r＝-.41, p＜.001). Effort-reward imbalance(β＝.36, p＜.001), quality of nursing work life(β＝ -.24, p＝.024) were identified as significant predictors of turnover intention, explaining 25.0% of the total variance. Conclusion : To reduce turnover intention among registered nurses in general hospitals, institutional interventions are needed to address effort-reward imbalance and enhance the quality of nursing work life. In addition, organizations should promote workforce stability by ensuring fair compensation and improving the work environment.
