- Description
- Orientation: Out of 121 professional nurses who worked in the public sector between 2002 and 2005, 104 of them left to work for private facilities in South Africa. In an era distinguished by turbulent changes in business industry due to factors such as globalisation, organisations are trying by all means to achieve competitive advantage. Many researchers have pointed organisational justice as a survival aspect for several companies. Nevertheless, internal organisational feature like organisational citizenship behaviour and turnover intention need a carefully consideration as they influence the degree of organisational justice within the organisation. Research purpose: The objective of this study was to empirically investigate the inter-relationship between turnover intention and the organisational citizenship behaviour of nurses in selected hospitals within the Chris Hani District, using organisational justice as the moderator. Motivation for the study: Most organisations struggle to retain workers, increase job satisfaction, commitment of employees, and obtain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Poor working conditions such as poor leadership and governance, increased workload, lack of promotion, inadequate resources and limited opportunities for career development have negatively affected employee retention and increased turnover intention in the public healthcare sector. Research design, approach, and method: A questionnaire was used as a method for data collection, and it was administered to a sample of 298 respondents at selected hospitals in Chris Hani District. Random sampling was used to select respondents. Main findings: Multiple linear regression analysis was applied in testing the statistical significance of the relationship among variables of the study. The findings showed a significant moderating impact of organisational justice on the correlation between turnover intention and organisational citizenship behaviour. Practical implication: The findings demonstrated that managers need to design HR strategies to enhance and warrant employee perception of organisational justice and fairness to elevate the level of organisational citizenship behaviour and decrease turnover intention in the organisation and leading to higher productivity. Contribution: The findings of this study showed that organisational justice and organisational citizenship behaviour have a negative significant effect on employee turnover intention.
