Results: The means of turnover intention were <TEX>$3.14{\pm}0.87$</TEX>, job overload, <TEX>$3.54{\pm}0.67$</TEX>, role ambiguity, <TEX>$2.87{\pm}0.71$</TEX> and burnout, <TEX>$2.68{\pm}0.72$</TEX>. A significant correlation was found among turnover intention and job overload (r=.24, p<.001), role ambiguity (r=.30, p<.001), and burn out (r=.58, p<.001). The factors that affect turnover intention from the result of multiple regression by the stepwise selection, were emotional exhaustion, role ambiguity, and diminished personal accomplishment.
