임상간호사의 위계지향적 간호조직문화와이직의도 간 사회적 지지 조절효과

Purpose: This cross-sectional survey study explored the moderating effect of social support between hierarchyoriented nursing organizational culture and turnover intention in clinical nurses. Methods: Data were collected using self-report questionnaires from 240 nurses working at three general hospitals in February 2018. Hierarchy-oriented nursing organizational culture, turnover intention and social support were measured using 5, 6, and 8 items, respectively, of validated instruments. Descriptive analysis and hierachical multiple regression were conducted using SPSS/WIN 21.0. Results: Nurses rated 3.66±0.50 for hierarchy-oriented nursing organizational culture, 3.40±0.64 for turnover intention, and 3.77±0.56 for social support respectively. Nurses’ turnover intention was positively correlated with hierarchical organizational culture, but negatively with social support. The moderating effect of social support was not significant in the relationship between hierarchical nursing organizational culture and turnover intention. Conclusion: It is required to improve the hierarchy-oriented nursing organizational culture. Institutional preparation and education are urgently needed to strengthen the boss and peer support for clinical nurses and finally to reduce turnover intention.
