Abstract
This study investigated workplace safety climate and turnover intention among Nigerian prison service officers. It adopted the descriptive survey research design. Three prisons were selected using convenience sampling procedure and 187 respondents were selected with the use of purposive sampling method. The formulated hypotheses were tested using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation and multiple regression. The results showed a strong, positive and statistically significant relationship between workplace safety climate and turnover intention among Nigerian prison service officers (r=.63, p<.05). Also, a statistically significant influence of workplace safety climate dimensions (organizational level and group level safety climate) on turnover intention among Nigerian prison service officers was found (F(2, 184)= 15.78, p<.05), with R2 at 0.15. This posits that 15% of the variance in turnover intention is as a result of workplace safety climate dimensions (organization and group level safety climate). From these findings, it was recommended among others that, supervisors (group level safety climate) should adopt necessary practices (enlightenments and orientations on how to act safely at work) to reduce turnover intention of officers at the selected prisons.
