Aim:
The study examined the relationship between turnover intention and job fit among Registered Nurses in Ghana. Further analysis was done to explore how nurses' psychological climate has an impact on the relationship between job fit and turnover intention.
Design:
The study adopted the quantitative research approach and the cross-sectional survey design in collecting data on the variables of interest.
Methods:
Purposive sampling was used to select the eight hospitals from both the public and the private sectors. In all, 322 Registered Nurses participated in the study and the data were analysed using simple and hierarchical multiple regression.
Results:
The results of the study showed no statistically significant relationship between nurses' turnover intention and job fit. However, psychological climate was found to fully mediate the relationship between turnover intention and job fit among the participants studied. Finally, the finding adds to theory by proposing a review and an extension of the Attraction-Selection-Attrition theory by Schneider (Personnel Psychology, 40, 1987, 437).

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...
