Abstract

Purpose: This descriptive study was conducted to identify the effects of hospital organizational culture and work environment on nurses' intent to stay at work. Methods: Participants of this study were 234 nurses who have worked at a local general hospital in the Chungcheong province for at least 6 months. The data were collected from July 17 to 28, 2017, using self-reported questionnaires and analyzed with multiple regression using SPSS version 22.0. Results: Clinical experience (${\beta}=.38$, p<.001), institutional support (${\beta}=.33$, p<.001), and relation-oriented culture (${\beta}=.24$, p<.001) affected intent to stay at work among nurses. These variables accounted for 34.8% of the variance in intent to stay at work among nurses. Conclusion: This study confirms the effects of the work environment and organizational culture on nurses' intent to stay at work. Efforts for improving the work environment and organizational culture need for retaining nurses in a hospital. We suggest further research to identify the other factors associated with intent to stay at work among nurses.
