ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This study contributes to a small but growing body of literature on how context influences employee turnover intention. We examine the impact of staff perceptions of supervisory leadership support for safety, teamwork, and mindful organizing on turnover intention. Interaction effects of safety-specific constructs on turnover intention are also examined.METHODS:
Cross-sectional survey data were collected from nurses, allied health professionals, and unit clerks working in intensive care, general medicine, mental health, or the emergency department of a large community hospital in Southern Ontario.RESULTS:
Hierarchical regression analyses showed that staff perceptions of teamwork were significantly associated with turnover intention (p < 0.001). Direct associations of supervisory leadership support for safety and mindful organizing with turnover intention were non-significant; however, when staff perceived lower levels of mindful organizing at the frontlines, the positive effect of supervisory leadership on turnover intention was significant (p < 0.01).CONCLUSIONS:
Our results suggest that, in addition to teamwork perceptions positively affecting turnover intentions, safety-conscious supportive supervisors can help alleviate the negative impact of poor mindful organizing on frontline staff turnover intention. Healthcare organizations should recruit and retain individuals in supervisory roles who prioritize safety and possess adequate relational competencies. They should further dedicate resources to build and strengthen the relational capacities of their supervisory leadership. Moreover, it is important to provide on-site workshops on topics (e.g., conflict management) that can improve the quality of teamwork and consequently reduce employees' intention to leave their unit/organization.Palavras-chave
