Measuring the Antecedents of Turnover Intentions: Perspectives from Private Healthcare Employees in A Less-Developed Economy

Original language description

This study sets out to investigate the antecedents of turnover intentions, using the private healthcare employees in an emerging economy (Ghana) as a benchmark. Eventhough myriad studies have been conducted on the aforementioned topic, yet, there is scant investigations on how employees of private healthcare institutions relate towards turnover intentions, specifically in a developing economy context. Therefore, this study draws on extant literature and subsequently proposes a hypothetical argument on the effect of training satisfaction, Benefits and incentives on employee turnover intentions as well as resistance to change whiles establishing the nexus between turnover intentions and resistance to change. To do this, both paper and web-based (online) questionnaire were gauged from employees of private healthcare organizations in Ghana. Data were analysed by partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) on a sample of 544 employees of private healthcare institutions. The findings of the results indicate that training satisfaction, benefits and incentives has a positive impact on an employee’s turnover intentions. Moreover, employee’s resistance to change is influenced by both training satisfaction and benefits and incentives. Further, the investigation established that employee’s resistance to change has an influence on employee turnover intentions. The thoughtful mechanisms of how the running of private healthcare institutions in Ghana can be enhanced is expanded by the empirical results obtained through how employee can be satisfied by training and the application of rewards to reduce turnover. Moreover, administrators of private healthcare organizations are forewarned of the implications of employees’ resistance to change and its effect on employee turnover intentions
