Predictors of intentions to leave the ward, the hospital, and the nursing profession: A longitudinal study
这项纵向研究调查了146名以色列护士，发现她们离职意愿遵循从病房到医院再到职业的递进模式，对理解护理人员流失有参考价值。
Abstract The stages preceding and following the intention to withdraw from an organization have not been adequately examined. Data were collected at two time periods from a sample of 146 nurses working in a general hospital located in a large metropolitan area in Israel. Essentially, intention to withdraw from three levels — ward, hospital and profession — were examined. LISREL was used to test alternative longitudinal models for the best fitting set of linkages among variables. The findings supported a progression model of withdrawal intention. According to this conceptualization, a nurse first decides to leave the ward, then the hospital, and, finally, the profession. Theoretical and practical implications of the results were presented.
