Related factors of turnover intention among general practitioners: a cross-sectional study in 6 provinces of China
Work stress, job satisfaction, professional title, practicing setting, and work intensity were influencing factors on turnover intention in Chinese GPs. Work stress had not only positive direct effects on turnover intention, but also had an indirect effect on turnover intention through job satisfaction as a mediator. Reducing workload, raising income, providing more opportunities for training and career development could potentially contribute to retaining and attracting GPs.
