Description
Summary:The values of individuals and organizations are the core factors driving and guiding nurses' decision-making and actions. Previous studies mainly focused on the impact of organizational commitment and other influencing factors on turnover intention. To explore the mediating effect of personal and organizational values matching the relationship between organizational commitment and turnover intention of nursing staff. A cross-sectional survey of 490 subjects in four tertiary hospitals in Tianjin was conducted by convenient sampling. Multivariate regression analysis and structural equation models were used to test each hypothesis. The results showed that there is a negative correlation between personal and organizational values, organizational commitment and turnover intention, and personal and organizational values played an indirect intermediary role between organizational commitment and turnover intention. Organizational commitment reduces nurses' turnover intention indirect through personal and organizational values paths. Leaders can improve nurses' values as members of the organization, so as to participate in their own work more actively. Managers should effectively reduce the turnover rate and stabilize the nursing team by improving the organizational commitment and personal and organizational values of clinical nurses.
