Impact of nurses' perceptions of work environment and communication satisfaction on their intention to quit

摘要

Abstract Aim This study examines the association of nurses' perception of their work environment and communication satisfaction with their intention to quit. Method The implementation part of the study was conducted with nurses working in a public hospital in the city of Burdur, Turkey. Data were collected in January 2017 from 175 participants and then assessed. Results The analysis showed that perceptions of the work environment and communication satisfaction taken together explain the total variance of the intention to quit. While participants' perceptions of the work environment become increasingly positive, their communication satisfaction increases and their intention to quit decreases. Conclusion The findings of this study suggest that making improvements to the nursing work environment and nurses' communication satisfaction will decrease their intention to quit.
