Introduction: Nurses are considered as the largest group of health care providers in the health care system. Therefore, turnover intention in nurses has become one of the major problems of managers.
Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional descriptive correlation with the structural equation modeling approach. The study population consisted of 1850 nurses of public hospitals in Khorramabad, from which 318 people were selected as sample members by two methods of random cluster sampling and systematic random method. For data collection, questionnaires on perceived workload, turnover intention, work-life balance and high-commitment work system were used. Also, the quality of the measurement model was confirmed by cv.com test and that of the structural model was confirmed by cv.red test. According to the GOF index, the quality of the final research model was 0.452, which showed that the model has a strong fit.
Results: The results showed that perceived workload had a negative effect on work-life balance and the turnover intention. Also, work-life balance and high-commitment work system had a negative effect on the turnover intention. The mediating role of work-life balance reduces the effect of perceived workload on nurseschr('39') turnover intention by -0.250, and the existence of a high-commitment work system moderates the effect of perceived workload on nurseschr('39') turnover intention by -0.290.
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it seems necessary for managers to make decisions to reduce the workload of nurses and improve their work-life balance by emphasizing the role of high-commitment work system to reduce nurseschr('39') turnover intention.
Keywords: Perceived Workload, Intention to Leave, Work-Life Balance, High-Commitment Work System, Nurses.
