  • Title: Nonlicensed employee turnover in a long-term care facility.
    Author: Gaddy T, Bechtel GA.
    Journal: Health Care Superv; 1995 Jun; 13(4):54-60. PubMed ID: 10142543.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to analyze nonlicensed employee turnover in a long-term care facility using Maslow's hierarchy of needs as a framework. During exit interviews, a convenience sample of 34 employees completed an attitudes and beliefs survey regarding their work environment. Findings were mixed; 39.6 percent of the employees stated positive personal relationships were a strength of the organization, although 24.3 percent resigned because of personal/staff conflicts. Financial concerns were not a major factor in their resignations. The study suggests that decreasing nonlicensed employee stress and increasing their personal satisfaction with patient care may decrease employee turnover.
