Kan upplevd arbetsbelastning, arbetstillfredsställelse och arbetsengagemang bidra till anställdas intention att säga upp sig inom sjukvården?

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study was to quantitatively investigate if workload, job satisfaction and work engagement could contribute to employees’ intention to quit in healthcare and which factor contributes this to the highest degree. A questionnaire was sent out to all 21 regions in Sweden and to private hospitals, and was shared on LinkedIn and Facebook. The criterion for participating in the study was that the respondents should work in healthcare with direct patient contact and a total of 67 responses were received. The questionnaire was based on questions from the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ III) och Ulrecht Work Engagemant Scale (UWES). The results showed that workload, job satisfaction and work engagement together contribute employees’ intention to quit in healthcare. The factor that contributes intention to quit to the highest degree was job satisfaction.
