The data included 133 nurses who worked in general hospitals in Chungchungbukdo. Data were collected from 1 November, 2016 to 25 December using self-report, structured questionnaires. Collected data were analyzed by ANOVA, t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression using SPSS 20.0. The results showed that the effects of workplace bullying and social support on turnover intention averaged 1.46 (out of 4), 3.55 (out of 5) and 3.30 (out of 5). Additionally, there was a significant positive correlation between workplace bullying and turnover intention (r=0.218, p=0.012) and negative correlations between social support and turnover intention (r=-0.363, p<0.001). Multiple regression analysis revealed that the predictors of turnover intension were education (${\beta}=-0.268$, p<0.009), total clinical experience (${\beta}=0.706$, p<0.001), and workplace bullying (${\beta}=0.183$, p<0.036).

Workplace bullying was negatively correlated with leader-member exchange. The most influential factors for turnover intention were LMX (${\beta}=-7.22$, p<.001), work load (${\beta}=2.96$, p=.003), and workplace bullying (${\beta}=2.64$, p=.009). These factors accounted for 28% of the variance in turnover intention.
