ABSTRACT
This research sought to establish the impact of perceived organizational support dimensions on
nurses’ turnover intention in public hospitals in Plateau State as the study setting. Data were collected
through a questionnaire from the three public hospital nurses, consisting of 318 respondents. A survey design was applied to 318 nurses from the public hospitals in Plateau State. The result showed that an employee’s welfare is significantly associated with turnover intention; an employee’s career development is significantly associated with turnover intention; role clarity is significantly associated with turnover intention; and employee recognition is significantly associated with turnover intention. This study is significant as it provides a better understanding of the reasons that lead nurses to consider leaving the organization where they work and the difference between nursing professionals in public hospitals.
Key words: Employee Welfare, Employee Career Development, Role Clarity, Employee Recognition,
Perceived Organizational Support, Turnover Intention
