Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
This study used a sample of 205 repeat-respondent medical technologists over a 3-year period to explore the impact of certification activity, years of laboratory experience, highest degree held, occupational commitment, and job loss insecurity on intent to leave occupation. Results showed that 3-year certification activity was related to lower intent to leave the occupation and that it accounted for significant variance in explaining intent to leave the occupation beyond all other controlled-for variables. Implications for health care organizations hiring certified medical laboratory professionals or sponsoring the certification of current staff are briefly discussed. |
