This study conducted a descriptive survey to analyze factors that influence turnover intention among
married nurses. A total of 210 nurses working in small and medium sized hospitals. Collected data were
from April 15 to 26, 2013. The tool developed by Mobley (1982) and modified/complemented by Kim
(2007) was used to measure turnover intention. Job satisfaction was measured using a tool developed by
Stamps et al.(1978) and modified for nurses by Bae (2007). A tool developed by Hall(1972) and
modified/complemented by Kwak was used to analyze role conflict. Finally, the nursing practice
environment was measured using a tool developed by Lake(2002) and modified/complemented by Kang
(2010). The results of this study show that job satisfaction, role conflict, and position are factors that
influence the turnover intention of married nurses. Thus, in order to reduce the turnover rate of married
nurses, the following measures are necessary. First, nurse administrators must improve the compensation
system, which scored poorly in the job satisfaction category. Also, it is important to operate workplace
child care facilities and introduce flexible working hours to reduce nurses’role conflicts as mothers.
Furthermore, it is necessary to devise administrative improvements, such as the acquisition of sufficient
human resources and system modifications, to allow married nurses to feel free to go on maternity or child
care leave. also, married nurses commitment to the current work that could lead to the need to develop
incentives can promote.
