Objective High perceived organizational support can make employees feel that they belong to the organization and have less intention to leave their jobs. This study aims to determine the relationship between turnover intention and perceived organizational support in nurses working in hospitals in Gorgan, Iran.
Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2021 on 293 nurses from 16 hospitals affiliated to Golestan University of Medical Sciences who were selected by stratified sampling method, proportional to the population. The data collection tool was a three-part questionnaire including demographic/occupational form, Kim et al.’s turnover intention questionnaire (TIQ), and Eisenberger et al.’s Perceived Organizational Support Questionnaire (POSQ). The data were analyzed using SPSS software, version 16.
Results The mean scores of TIQ was 39.91±12.18 and the mean score of POSQ was 23.66±6.6. There was a negative significant relationship between turnover intention and perceived organizational support (P<0.001).
Conclusion The turnover intention and perceived organizational support of nurses in Gorgan are at a moderate level. As the nurses’ perceptions of organizational support decrease, their turnover intention can increase. It is necessary to create a supportive environment for nurses, in such a way that this support be tangible and understandable to them and can cause job satisfaction and prevent them from leaving the job.
