Research on the influence of physician-work environment fitting on turnover intention-mediating role of job burnout

Abstract

From the perspective of Person-environment fit (PEF), this paper tooks job burnout as a mediating variable to study the influence of physician-work environment fitting on turnover intention. The mediating model of physician-work environment fitting, job burnout and turnover intention was fitted through the questionnaire survey results of 250 physicians in class3-A hospitals in Hubei province. The mediating effect accounts for 47.4% of the total effect between the two. The fitting degree between physicians-work environment in the class3-A hospitals in Hubei province was general (5.62+0.75), and the burnout situation and turnover tendency were not obvious (3.46+0.91, 3.67+1.34). The fitting degree between physicians and hospitals, as well as colleagues were important factors affecting the turnover of physician. In order to alleviate physicians burnout and reduce the turnover rate, the hospital should promote the cooperation and communication between physicians, face up to and meet the economic and psychological needs of physicians, and improve the fitting degree between physician-work environment. Finally, the paper puts forward some suggestions on the intervention of the hospital environment.
