dc.description.abstract | This study aimed at establishing the influence of person –job fit on intention to leave among medical workers of Mulago National Referral Hospital in Uganda. The review of literature revealed that many studies had been conducted on person –job fit and intention to leave. However, most of these studies have focused on the nature of fit perceptions, person –organisation fit and intention to leave the organisation, in which the organisation has been the unit of analysis and not the individual. These studiesdid not explain fully the influence of person –job fit on employee intention to leave which created a gap that this study sought to address. Hypothesis was formulated to the research the question. The study adopted a cross sectional descriptive survey design. A population of 1,007 was used for the study and a sample of 475 medical workers including Director, Deputy Director, Senior Consultant, Consultant, Medical Officer, Nurses and Other Allied workers was used. A structured questionnaire with likert type statements was used for data collection. The study used both descriptive and inferential statistics for data analysis. The findings of the study indicate a positive relationship between person –job fit and intention to leave and thus the hypothesis thatperson –job fit influences intention to leave was confirmed. The results of this study have contributed to the job characteristics theory which posits that job characteristics are important determinants of work outcome and that they vary in their contribution to intention to leave thus providing reference for further studies. It is recommended that Mulago National Referral Hospital should improve the fit between employees and their jobs and recognize the combination of antecedents of intention to leave. The study had a limitation in using cross sectional survey method of data collection which limits the ability to establish and prove causativeness and changes over time. | en_US |
