The samples included 483 dental health officers was selected by proportional stratified random sampling. The data were collected by using self-administered questionnaires with goodvalidity and reliability. Descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling were used to analyze data.
The results showed that the sample demonstrated high level of turnover intention. The adjusted model was consistent with the empirical data as demonstrated by the following fit measures: chi-square test = 100.246 , df = 81, P = .072, RMSEA = .022, SRMR = .027, CFI = .997, TLI = .995, all variables in the adjusted model account for 50% of the total variance in turnover intention.
