Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Purpose

1. To understand the current status of demographic characteristics, inclination to resign, Psychological Capital, work environment and job satisfaction, and political skills among incumbent clinical nursing staff across different generations.
2. To understand the correlation and interaction between demographic characteristics, inclination to resign, Psychological Capital, work environment and job satisfaction, and political skills among incumbent clinical nursing staff across different generations.

Expected outcomes

1. This study will provide objective and empirical data on the psychological capital, turnover intention, work environment and satisfaction, and political skills of clinical nursing personnel from different generations. By examining demographic variables, further exploration of the correlations among different attributes such as units, age, and positions (e.g., clinical nurses, nursing supervisors, specialist nurses) can be conducted. Through the research findings, the current status and needs of clinical nursing can be understood.
2. The results of this study will enable clinical nursing units in the future to implement measures to improve the psychological capital and address turnover intentions of nursing personnel from different generations and positions. Based on this objective and concrete data, relevant courses or training programs can be developed to retain excellent clinical nursing personnel.
