Investigating the impact of hierarchical plateau on turnover intention with the moderating role of person-job fit facet

The lack of nurses and the high rate of their turnover is still the most important issues that health centers are planning to provide appropriate solutions to solve it. One of these important issues, is the career plateauing of nurses. Accordingly, this study aims to examine the impact of hierarchical plateau on turnover intention with the moderating role of the person job-fit facet. This is an applied descriptive-survey study in which the statistical population includes 1132 registered and contract registered nurse of Imam Reza Hospital in Mashhad. Cochran's method was used to determine the sample size. Based on this, 287 of them were selected as a statistical sample with the Random sampling method. To collect data, the questionnaire of Hierarchical plateau of Hossain and Shirazi (2018), p-j fit questionnaire of Ab Hamid et al. (2017), and Demand-Abilities of Memon et al (2014) were used. To evaluate the validity of the questionnaire, content validation and for Questionnaire reliability Cronbach's alpha were used. Data analysis was performed with SPSS24 software. The results showed a positive and significant impact of hierarchical plateau on turnover intention. On the other hand, the p-j facet does not moderate the relationship between the hierarchical plateau and turnover intention.
