Relational Coordination as a Predictor of Job Satisfaction and Intent to Stay Among Nurses and Physicians in the Military Health System

CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that RC is a powerful workplace dynamic that influences job satisfaction and intent to stay, for nurses, residents, and physicians in MTFs. Specifically, we found that RC was positively associated with job satisfaction and intent to stay and that job satisfaction mediates the relationship between RC and intent to stay. We recommend that hospital leaders in MTFs explore interventions to strengthen RC among health professionals by including relational, work process and structural interventions as part of their strategy for retaining military healthcare professionals.PMID:35050374 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usab464
