How does job stress affect job satisfaction and Turnover Intention in Public Hospital, Gianyar, Bali?

The desire to change jobs among hospital nurses is a critical issue related to service quality. Nurses have the desire to move if they feel work stress and the level of job satisfaction tends to decrease. Nurses' high stress levels will cause them to feel less satisfied with their work which will ultimately lead to their intention to leave the hospital. This research aims to (1) analyze the influence of job stress on turnover intention, (2) analyze the influence of job stress on job satisfaction, and (3) analyze the influence of job satisfaction on turnover intention. The sample in this study used a proportional sampling technique which was only aimed at nurses in four divisions, totaling 100 people. The data analysis technique uses SEM-PLS.

The research results show that (1) work stress has a positive and significant effect on turnover intention, (2) work stress has a negative and significant effect on job satisfaction, and (3) job satisfaction has a negative and significant effect on turnover intention. This research implies that a low level of stress at work will increase job satisfaction and reduce their intention to leave the hospital, especially as nurses know the consequences of their work.
