Abstract
In this study, selected factors believed to influence anticipated turnover among civilian registered nurses employed in Army hospitals were examined. Based on a theoretical model developed from existing models of nursing turnover, independent variables were clustered into three groups: individual factors (age, education, tenure, kinship responsibility); growth need strength, initial expectations of tenure, and career intentions; and perceptions of contextual factors (workload, group cohesion, instrumental communication, job characteristics, external and internal labor market, and pay satisfaction). The theoretical model proposed that independent variables influenced the dependent variable which was anticipated turnover, either directly or indirectly through job satisfaction.
