Hospital is an integral part of social and medical organization. In the health care organization the propensity of nurse's turnover may detract the quality of care. To mitigate the problem it's better to examine nurse's intention to leave.
To explore the top-down perspective of workplace social context and job context and its relationship with person organization fit towards nurse's intent to leave in multispecialty hospitals, are the focuses of the study.
A structured survey questionnaire measures the responses from 847 nurses of multispecialty hospitals through stratified random sampling. AMOS 20.0 validated the measurement model prior to examining hypothesized relationship. Path analysis was employed to test the hypothesized relationship.
The model reveals that workplace social context and job context has a positive relationship with person organization fit with r=.233, r=.284 and p<.05. Person organization fit has a significant negative relationship with intent to leave with r=.383(Negative) and p<.05. The x2 statistics was significant and sensitive to sample size and model complexity. The fit indices were good indicated an acceptable fitting model.
Job context is closely related to person organization fit. Higher the person organization fit lowers the intent to leave among the nurses employing in multi-specialty hospitals.
