THE ROLE OF JOB SATISFACTION AND EMBEDDEDNESS IN MANAGING TURNOVER INTENTION IN HEALTHCARE INDUSTRIES

Nurses' turnover has been a major concern globally, which is strongly influenced by nurses' intent to leave. However, only a few large sample studies on the predictive factors associated with nurses' turnover intention were conducted in Bali Province, which is currently promoting health tourism. This study analyses the effect of Person Organization Fit and Person Job Fit on Nurse Turnover Intention mediated by job satisfaction and moderated by Job Embeddedness. The study was conducted at a private hospital involving 311 employees as a sample. The data were collected utilising a questionnaire through the distribution of questionnaires; then, the data was analysed using Logistic Regression. The results show that PO-Fit, PJ-Fit, job embeddedness and job satisfaction have an essential impact on reducing turnover intention. PO-Fit and PJ-Fit may increase job satisfaction. However, job satisfaction and job embeddedness do not mediate the effect of PO-Fit and PJ-Fit towards intention. This study contributes to developing an integrated model to reduce turnover intention. This study enriches the literature on turnover intention and related variables to be considered for decision-making in the healthcare industry, especially in hospitals.
