Abstract
Taipei Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan experiences significantly high turnover rates among its workforce of approximately 3,300 nurses.
This study, conducted as a component of a talent revitalization strategy, was designed to investigate the impact of a mandatory two-year job rotation system on turnover intention, job stress, and emotional well-being among nurses at a major medical center in Taiwan.
A cross-sectional design was used on a convenience sample of 246 nurses. Factors measured included job stress, job satisfaction, stress levels, emotional resilience, and turnover intention. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and affect valuation theory (AVT) were employed to assess the relationships between variables.
The findings showed that, while job rotation promoted professional versatility, it also introduced significant psychological stressors that may increase turnover risk. In detail, a gap was identified between the actual emotional responses of nurses and their ideal affective states that highlights a need for better emotional support systems and flexible rotation policies.
The results of this research indicate a need to enhance career development opportunities, introduce voluntary rotation options, and implement comprehensive training and mentorship programs to better align the current rotation system with individual career goals.
