Occupational determinants of work attitudes and organizational attachment.

Abstract

The "work attitudes-turnover" linkage was compared among four medical-sector occupational groups. In a sample of 707 employees, drawn from eight variously-sized medical-sector sites, intended and actual turnover behavior is predicted. Combining a cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis, and using two logistic regression models, the direct effect of work attitudes on intended and actual turnover was assessed. The "work attitudes-turnover" was shown to be occupationally-dependent.
