How does job mobility relate to work commitment among rural healthcare workers? a cross-sectional study in western China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rural healthcare workers (RHWs) are the core of the rural health system. The antecedents of turnover of RHWs have been well studied, but little is known about the consequences of job mobilities among RWHs. This study aimed to identify the association between job mobility and the work commitment of RHWs in China.

Methods

Based on a three-stage random sampling method, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in 11 western provinces in China. A total of 3783 RHWs, consisting of 2245 doctors and 1538 nurses, were included in our study. Confirmatory factor analysis, Pearson's chi-squared test, one-way ANOVA, linear regression analysis, and binary logistic regression analysis were performed for data analyses.

Results

46.3% of RHWs reported the experience of job mob
