ABSTRACT

Purpose: This study explored the factors affecting job satisfaction and turnover intention among newly graduated nurses in South Korea. Methods: A sample of 104 nurses who had worked less than 12 months in a National University Hospital were included. Self-report questionnaires that measured job satisfaction, turnover intention, perceived preceptor’s coaching leadership, and self-leadership, were used to collect data. Collected data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, and quantile regression with Stata version 16. Results: Self-leadership was significant at all percentiles, and the possibility to request days off was a significant factor affecting job satisfaction in the 10th percentile (B=6.98, p=.005), 50th percentile (B=3.82, p<.001), 75th percentile (B=3.57, p=.013), and 90th percentile (B=6.20, p=.033). Moreover, the average number of night shifts per month was a significant factor affecting job satisfaction in the 10th percentile (B=2.76, p=.029). The possibility to request days off was a factor affecting turnover intention in the 25th percentile (B=-3.48, p=.010) and 50th percentile (B=-1.50, p=.037), and the average number of night shifts per month was a significant factor affecting turnover intention in the 90th percentile (B=-2.11, p=.037). Conclusion: To improve job satisfaction and reduce the turnover intention of newly graduated nurses, the nursing organization needs policies that reinforce nurses’ self-leadership, guarantee autonomy in requesting days off, and reduce the number of night work days.
