AIM: To identify the factors associated with bullying and turnover intention among nurses.
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have demonstrated an association between leadership, bullying, and turnover intention. However, few studies to date have addressed this topic among nurses.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted using web-based data collection followed by data analysis using logistic regression and multinomial logistic regression models.
RESULTS: Having more than one job (odds ratio (OR)=2.9) and a low relationship-oriented leadership style (OR=5.8) were positively associated with personal and work-related bullying, respectively. A low relationship-oriented leadership style (OR=4.0), age of 19-29 years (OR=4.5), and length of employment at the institution of 5-10 years (OR=4.9) were positively correlated with a high turnover intention. The following variables were correlated with a moderate turnover intention: a low relationship-oriented leadership style (OR=3.4), having a bachelor's degree (OR=2.0), and working in a philanthropic institution (OR=2.5). Working in a private institution (OR=0.8) was negatively associated with a moderate turnover intention.
CONCLUSIONS: A low relationship-oriented leadership style and social and work factors were associated with bullying and turnover intention. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSE MANAGERS: Nurse managers, in addition to developing technical skills, need to develop skills to manage human relationships to prevent bullying and turnover among nurses.
