Abstract

The study uses a quantitative cross-sectional research design to explore turnover intentions among nurses in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. Data was collected from 325 nurses employed in various hospitals across Lucknow city using convenience sampling methods. The study examines the socio-demographic variables of the nurses, including gender, age, marital status, and educational qualifications, as well as their distribution across different types of hospitals. Findings reveal a diverse nursing workforce, with a majority being female (63.5%) and married (70.7%), and a notable presence of individuals holding GNM (41.1%) and BSc (28.3%) degrees. Moreover, turnover intentions are assessed using a turnover intention scale, revealing a nuanced perspective among participants. While many express low willingness to leave their current job and report relatively low levels of frustration, there is a noticeable inclination towards seeking new job opportunities, particularly driven by the desire for competitive salary packages.
