Randomized trial investigates how working conditions influence nurses' employment intentions, suggesting management improvements.

This research aims to examine the factors influencing staff nurses' intention to remain employed in small- and medium-sized hospitals.
319 staff nurses completed a questionnaire assessing their working conditions.
Stepwise multiple logistic regression identified significant independent variables affecting employment intentions.
A path network model was constructed to evaluate both direct and indirect modulators of intention to remain employed.
Rapport with coworkers showed a strong positive effect on intention to remain employed (β = 0.28-0.55, p < 0.05).
Five direct modulators were identified that significantly influenced nurses' intentions.
Two indirect modulators related to management by objectives had negligible effects in the model.

Nakamura et al. (2010) studied this question.
