The Effect of Transactional Leadership Approach on Nurses' Turnover Intention: A Field Study in Private Hospitals in Bursa Province

Öz

In this study, it was aimed to measure the effect of the transactional leadership behaviors  (and its dimensions) of the health managers on nurses’ turnover intention in private hospitals. Also it is tested how turnover intention differs according to some demographic factors. The data collected from Bursa (N=241)  were analyzed by using Structural Equation Model. As a result, it was determined that the turnover intention of the nurses showed significant differences according to their profession and their seniority at the institution they worked and it was found that the model was suitable for the research and the hypothesis (the interactional leadership behaviours (and its dimensions) of the managers negatively affects the turnover intention of nurses’) was supported according to the obtained p and t values.

Etkileşimci Liderlik Yaklaşımının Hemşirelerin İşten Ayrılma Niyetlerine Etkisi: Bursa İlinde Özel Hastanelerde Bir Alan Araştırması

Öz

Bu çalışmada, özel hastanelerde, ilk kademe sağlık yöneticilerinin sergiledikleri etkileşimci liderlik davranışlarının, kendilerine bağlı çalışan hemşirelerin işten ayrılma niyetlerini ne yönde ve ne kadar etkilediğinin ölçülmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bununla birlikte, hemşirelerin işten ayrılma niyetlerinin birtakım demografik faktörlere göre ne şekilde farklılık gösterdiği de ayrıca T testi ve ANOVA testleri kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Toplanan veriler (N=241)  Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında ortaya konan hipotez;  yöneticilerin sergiledikleri etkileşimci liderlik tarzının, hemşirelerin işten ayrılma niyetlerini negatif yönde etkilediğidir. Araştırma sonucunda hemşirelerin işten ayrılma niyetlerinin hem meslekteki hem de çalıştıkları kurumdaki kıdemlerine göre anlamlı farklılıklar gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca yapısal modelin test edilmesi sonucunda; modelin araştırma için uygun olduğu ve elde edilen p ve t değerlerine göre de hipotezin desteklendiği görülmüştür.
