Aim:
To identify factors associated with job embeddedness from the perspective of retaining new graduate nurses.
Design:
The study was cross-sectional in design.
Methods:
Convenience and stratified sampling were used to recruit 415 newly graduated nurses from 12 tertiary hospitals in China. Anonymized data were collected through self-designed sociodemographic questionnaires, job embeddedness scale, feedback-seeking behaviour scale, authentic leadership perception scale and decent work scale. Appropriate indicators were used for descriptive statistics and t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression to examine the influencing factors.
Results:
The study showed that monthly income level, decent labour, authentic leadership and feedback-seeking behaviour were significant predictors of job embeddedness among new graduate nurses.
Conclusion:
The job embeddedness of new graduate nurses is moderate. Nursing managers need to construct reasonable and fair compensation incentives, adopt positive leadership styles and encourage proactive feedback-seeking behaviours to improve the job embeddedness of new graduate nurses and alleviate the nursing talent shortage.
Impact:
Exploring the factors influencing the job embeddedness of new graduate nurses provides a reference for establishing new graduate nurse retention strategies to help promote the career development of new graduate nurses and alleviate the nursing brain drain.
Reporting Method:
We adhered to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines.
Patient Or Public Contribution:
No patient or public contribution.
