Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among the type of OR assignment and OR nurses' perceptions of job stress, group cohesion, interpersonal conflict, job satisfaction and anticipated turnover. The Hinshaw and Atwood theoretical model of anticipated turnover guided this research. It was postulated that nurses who worked in consistent teams would have lower job stress, higher group cohesion, less conflict, greater job satisfaction and lower anticipated turnover.
