| Abstract

:

The main goal of this quantitative study is to investigate the mediating influence of work engagement on the relationship between antecedents (e.g., supervisor support, performance feedback, autonomy, and learning opportunities) and consequence (turnover intention) among nursing practitioners in Royal Commission Medical Center (RCMC), Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. The study was conducted among a sample of 320 nurses from the RCMC, and data were analyzed by using the IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Version 23 (SPSS-23). Specifically, Pearson correlation and simple meditation analysis with SPSS's PROCESS macro model 4 were employed to determine the influence of job resources on turnover intention through work engagement. The results of the study indicated significant negative correlations between age and turnover intention (r = −0.139; p ≤ 0.013), salary and turnover intention, and a positive correlation between nationality and dedication r = 0.128; p ≤ 0.05). Also, it was found that the three dimensions of work engagement were significantly correlated with job resources and turnover intention. The strongest relationships were found between absorption and learning opportunities (r = 0.424; p < 0.001), dedication and learning opportunities (r = 0.417; p < 0.001); dedication and turnover intention (r = −0.313; p ≤ 0.001); learning opportunities and turnover intention (r = −0.276); and supervisory support and turnover intention (r = −0.247). Results of the mediation analysis confirmed an indirect effect of work engagement on the relationship between job resources and turnover intention (α = −0.04; SE, 0.01; 95%CI: −0.07 to −0.01). Work engagement did not have a full direct mediating effect on turnover intention, but the findings support a small partial mediation of work engagement.
