Abstract:
Objective To explore the current status and correlation between job embeddedness and turnover intention among healthcare workers in public hospitals in Guangzhou,providing empirical evidence for public hospital administrators to re-duce talent turnover.Methods This study surveyed 718 healthcare workers from 12 public tertiary hospitals in Guangzhou.Results The overall mean score for job embeddedness among healthcare workers was(3.78±0.84),and the overall mean score for turnover intention was(1.96±0.94).There was a significant negative correlation between job embeddedness and turn-over intention(r=-0.561,P＜0.01),indicating that a higher level of job embeddedness corresponded to a lower turnover in-tention among healthcare workers.Additionally,factors such as age,marital status,number of children,monthly income,and years of work in the current hospital had significant effects on turnover intention.Conclusion The level of job embeddedness a-mong healthcare workers is moderate,and the turnover intention is relatively low,with a significant negative correlation between the two.In the context of high-quality development of public hospitals,the stability of medical talent is crucial,as excessive tal-ent turnover can increase costs and affect operational and service quality.Suggestions Hospital management should improve com-pensation and benefits,optimize salary structures,and increase benefit programs.They should also provide career development opportunities,establish a career development planning system,optimize the work environment,reasonably arrange work sched-ules,and provide good facilities.Furthermore,strengthening community connections,encouraging participation in community ac-tivities,and focusing on mental health by providing psychological counseling services are recommended.
