Abstract

This study was carried out to verify the relationship between the job satisfaction and turnover intention of nurses working in general hospitals The study included 312 nurses working in three general hospitals located in Gyeoungpook area. The data was collected by a survey using self-administered questionnaires structured from February 25 to March 16, 2013. The level of turnover intention was negatively correlated with job satisfaction and professional position, autonomy, administrative capacity, pay, task requirement. In logistic regression analysis, the adjusted odds ratio of the high risk turnover intention was increased significantly in the lower groups of job satisfaction, job autonomy, administrative capacity and pay than in the higher groups of these items. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that the turnover intention correlated significantly with the education level, subjective sleep evaluation, job career, job position, monthly pay, satisfaction with work, fitness of the job, career choice motives, physical burden of work, and job satisfaction. In addition, there was a negative correlation between the job satisfaction and turnover intention in the studied nurses, which showed that the turnover intention increased with decreasing level of job satisfaction. The variations in the job related characteristics and job satisfaction have a significant influence on the turnover intention.

본 연구는 종합 병원 간호사들의 직무만족도와 이직의도와의 관련성을 규명하고자 경북지역의 3개 종합병원에 근무하고 있는 간호사 312명을 대상으로 2013년 2월 25일부터 3월 16일까지의 기간 동안에 구조화된 자기기입식 설문지(self-administered questionnaire)를 사용한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 조사대상 간호사들의 이직의도는 직무만족도 및 직무만족도하위영역인 전문직업적 수준, 업무의 자율성, 행정업무력, 보수, 직무과업과 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과 직무만족도 총 점수가 높은 군보다 낮은 군에서, 업무자율성이 높은 군보다 낮은 군에서, 행정업무력이 높은 군보다 낮은 군에서, 보수가 높은 군보다 낮은 군에서 고위험 이직의도 군에 속할 위험비가 유의하게 증가하였다. 위계적 다중회귀분석 결과, 이직의도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 학력, 수면의 질, 근무경력, 직위, 월수입, 업무 만족도, 업무에 대한 적성여부, 간호직 선택동기 및 업무의 육체적 부담정도, 직무 만족도가 유의한 변수로 선정되었다. 이상과 같은 결과를 볼 때, 조사대상 간호사들의 직무만족도와 이직의도 간에는 유의한 음의 상관관계가 있어, 직무만족도가 낮을수록 이직의도는 높아지는 경향을 보였으며, 직업관련 특성과 직무만족도 변수가 이직의도에 크게 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있다.
