  • Title: Predicting nurses' turnover and internal transfer behavior.
    Author: Taylor MS, Covaleski MA.
    Journal: Nurs Res; 1985; 34(4):237-41. PubMed ID: 3847876.
    Abstract:
    This research examined the predictability of internal job transfer and turnover behavior from nurses' career plans, work values, and job satisfaction. Values and career plans rather than job satisfaction were found to discriminate between persons who remained in their jobs, accepted internal transfers, or turned over within a one-year research period. Results raise doubts about nurses' use of internal transfer as a substitute for turnover and support the importance of employees' expectations about future satisfaction as a major determinant of job movement.
