Abstract

The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of workplace bullying of turnover intention in hospital nurses. The subjects were 500 nurses in general hospitals. Data were collected by self-administered questionnaires which were gathered March 1 to 20 in 2014. and analyzed by hierarchical multiple regression. In conclusion, turnover intention shows the positive correlation with workplace bullying while indicating the negative correlation with nurses' work environment, emotional intelligence and job satisfaction. Also, the workplace bullying had a significantly positive effect on turnover intention. The nurses' work environment, emotional intelligence and job satisfaction had negative effects on turnover intention. The job satisfaction was the mediating effect on the workplace bullying in turnover intention. The results of the study showed the importance of workplace bullying, nurses' work environment, emotional intelligence and job satisfaction in explaining turnover intention of nurses. The convergence programs to prevent workplace bullying should be developed and implemented to the nursing organization.

본 연구의 목적은 병원 간호사의 직장 내 괴롭힘이 이직의도에 미치는 효과를 확인하기 위함이다. 연구대상자는 병원 근무 간호사 500명이었다. 자료 수집은 구조화된 설문지를 통해 자가보고 형식으로 2014년도 3월 1일부터 20일까지 수집하였고, 통계분석은 SPSS/PC+ ver. 18.0을 이용하여 위계적 다중 회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 연구결과, 이직의도는 직장 내 괴롭힘과 양의 상관이 있었고, 간호근무환경, 감성지능 및 직무만족과 음의 상관관계가 나타났다. 또한 직장 내 괴롭힘은 이직의도에 정적인 영향을 주었고, 간호근무환경, 감성지능 및 직무만족은 이직의도에 부적인 영향을 주었다. 감성지능은 직장 내 괴롭힘과 이직의도와의 관계에서 조절효과가 나타나지 않았지만 직무만족은 직장 내 괴롭힘과 이직의도와의 관계에서 조절효과가 있었다. 이러한 결과는 직장 내 괴롭힘, 간호근무환경, 감성지능, 직무만족이 간호사의 이직의도에 강하게 영향을 주는 요인이었다. 따라서 직장 내 괴롭힘을 예방할 수 있는 융복합 프로그램을 개발하여 간호조직에 적용되어야 한다.
