nursing home employee commitment, job satisfaction and intent to turnover”.
Through this study, Francois Sainfort wanted to
examine whether job characteristics, the work environment, participation in
quality improvement activities and facility quality improvement environment
predicted employee commitment and job satisfaction in nursing homes, and
whether those same predictors and commitment and satisfaction predicted
turnover intention. After a long hard work Francois Sainfort and other scholars concluded that the

commitment and satisfaction while commitment and satisfaction predicted
turnover intentions. The implications for retaining nursing home employees are
