Résumé
Objective To learn the effects of family supportive supervisors on medical staff turnover intention. Methods The scales of family supportive supervisor behavior scales, work-family conflict scale and turnover intention scale were used in the study. The data were collected from a questionnaire survey of 214 army tertiary hospitals′ medical staff during October to December 2017. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to establish a model to understand the influence of family supportive supervisor behavior, two-way conflict between work and family, using the independent variables, on turnover intention of medical staff. Results The and family supportive supervisor behaviors had a negative explanation to medical staff turnover intention ( β = - 0. 211, P < 0. 01), work interference with family had a positive explanation to it (β = 0. 358, P < 0. 01), family interference with work had an obscure explanation to medical staff turnover intention (β = 0. 104, P > 0. 05). Work interference with family had a partially mediating effect which influenced family supportive supervisor behaviors on medical staff turnover intention. Conclusions Family supportive supervisor behavior, as an organizational support, can effectively alleviate the work interference on family for medical staff and thus minimize their turnover intention.
