The implementation of the National Health Insurance System in 1995 effected severe repercussions in the medical environment. Provisions defined under the new law saw to the incorporation of market prices of and volume of the medical service into management, creating a consequential stiff competition among medical institutes. Moreover, the increasing self-awareness of the public and widespread information through the Internet had put the medical institute staff under greater pressure, work anxiety, and fatigue. To some extent, the problem resulted in the resignations and permanent career changes of medical employees; these turnover tendencies resulted in a serious professional manpower shortage in the medical industry. Hence, the objective of this paper is to understand the impact of the job anxiety of medical institute staff on their satisfaction levels and turnover intention, and verify through the moderating effect of perceived organizational support whether job anxiety may affect the job satisfaction and turnover intention of the staff.
This paper conducted a case study on the staff of a regional teaching hospital. Data were gathered through a questionnaire survey. A total of 851 questionnaires were distributed and 566 were recovered; valid questionnaires numbered 564. The empirical analysis revealed the following findings:
1.A significant difference was noted in the basic personal traits of the medical institute staff in the various research variables.
2.Job anxiety of the medical institute staff had a significant negative correlation with the job satisfaction.
3.Job anxiety of the medical institute staff had a significant positive correlation with the turnover intention.
4.No moderating effect was noted on the correlation between the perceived organizational support of medical institute staff and their job anxiety and job satisfaction.
5.No moderating effect was noted on the correlation between the perceived organizational support of medical institute staff and their job anxiety and turnover intention.
