Abstract

Objective

This study aims to examine the relationship between work motivation, performance, and turnover intentions among surgical nurses, and to explore their impact on nurse retention and care quality.

Methods

This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in a university hospital's surgical units between March and August 2024. The study included 322 nurses working in clinics, intensive care units and operating rooms for at least six months. Sociodemographic and Descriptive Characteristics of Form, the Nurses Work Motivation Scale (NWMS), the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ) and the Nurse Turnover Intention Scale (NTIS) were used to collect the data.

Results

In this study, the mean total score of the NWMS was 58.66 ± 8.95. The mean total score of the IWPQ was 55.02 ± 8.65, the mean total score of the task subscale was 20.32 ± 3.77, the mean total score of the contextual performance subscale was 21.80 ± 5.37, and the median total score of the counterproductive work behaviour subscale was 14.00 ± 2.59. The mean total score of the NTIS was 37.88 ± 8.15. In this study, a positive and statistically significant relationship was found between the mean total scores of HWMS with IWPQ (r: 0.359, p: 0.000), task performance subscale (r: 0.321, p: 0.000), contextual performance subscale (r: 0.2851, p: 0.000) and counterproductive work behaviour subscale (r: 0.219, p: 0.000). A negative and statistically significant (r: −0.145, p: 0.009) relationship was also found between the mean total scores of NWMS and NTIS.

Conclusion

This study determined that as nurse work motivation increased, individual work performance increased and turnover intentions decreased.

外科护士工作动机、工作绩效与离职意向关系的横断面研究

目的研究外科护士的工作动机、工作绩效和离职意向之间的关系，并探讨其对护士留任率和护理质量的影响。方法于2024年3月至8月在某大学附属医院外科科室进行描述性和横断面研究。这项研究包括322名在诊所、重症监护病房和手术室工作至少6个月的护士。采用社会人口学和描述性特征表、护士工作动机量表（NWMS）、个人工作绩效问卷（IWPQ）和护士离职意向量表（NTIS）收集数据。结果本组患者NWMS平均总分为58.66±8.95分。IWPQ的平均总分为55.02±8.65分，任务分量表的平均总分为20.32±3.77分，情境绩效分量表的平均总分为21.80±5.37分，反生产行为分量表的平均总分为14.00±2.59分。NTIS的平均总分为37.88±8.15分。在本研究中，HWMS的平均总分与IWPQ （r: 0.359, p: 0.000）、任务绩效子量表（r: 0.321, p: 0.000）、情境绩效子量表（r: 0.2851, p: 0.000）和反生产行为子量表（r: 0.219, p: 0.000）之间存在显著正相关。NWMS和NTIS的平均总分之间也存在负相关且有统计学意义（r: - 0.145, p: 0.009）。结论护士工作动机越高，个人工作绩效越高，离职意向越低。
