Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of job stress, pay satisfaction, and career growth on intention to quit and the mediating effects of job satisfaction on the relationship between job stress and intention to quit, pay satisfaction and intention to quit, and career growth and intention to quit. Our findings from the survey of 444 physicians working at healthcare facility in Bangkok demonstrated that job stress, pay satisfaction, and career growth had the effect on intention to quit sorted by strength of the total effect and job satisfaction played a full mediating role in the relationship between pay satisfaction and intention to quit but played a partial mediating role in the relationship between job stress and intention to quit, and career growth and intention to quit. Implications of these findings and avenues for future research are discussed.
