The purposes of this study were to understand the job satisfaction, organizational commitment and intention to quit of nursing assistants in nursing homes（over 50beds）. We also compared the relationship between job satisfaction, organizational commitment, intention to quit and personal characteristics , different types of nursing homes which include hospital-based nursing homes and freestanding nursing homes in Taiwan. The study used a cross-sectional method. To achieve the purpose of this study, there were the organizational commitment scale questionnaire, the job satisfaction scale questionnaire and intention to quit scale questionnaire. Subjects were recruited by random sampling from nursing homes. 11 hospital-based nursing homes and 9 freestanding nursing homes were surveyed during 1 May to 31 May 2005. The response rate was 44.33% of the total sample of 600 nursing assistants.
The results showed that: (1) The average score of overall job satisfaction was 3.63((ranged from 1 to 5) which indicated a mild range score. The average score of overall organizational commitment was 3.42(ranged from 1 to 5) which indicated a mild range. The average score of overall intention to quit was 2.35((ranged from 1 to 5) which indicated a lower range score. A statistically significant was found among job satisfaction, organizational commitment and intention to quit when compared to personal characteristics. The more the salary nursing assistants received, the more job satisfied nursing assistants had. Higher organizational commitment is related to having high school education. Younger nursing assistants and years in nursing homes influence the intention to quit. (2) Job satisfaction was significantly higher among nursing assistants at hospital-based nursing homes than those working at freestanding nursing homes. There was no significant difference between hospital-based nursing homes and freestanding nursing homes in organizational commitment and intention to quit. (3) A negative correlation was found between job satisfaction, organizational commitment and intention to quit. Stepwise regression analysis showed that organizational commitment was predictors of intention to quit and accounted for36.1% of variances.
