Turnover, Burnout, and Job Satisfaction of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists in the United States: Role of Job Characteristics and Personality.

This study, designed to identify the determinants of job satisfaction, employee burnout, and turnover intentions, was based on data derived from a survey of members of the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA) who were active Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs). The relationships explored, using structural equation models, were job satisfaction as a function of job characteristics and personality factors; employee burnout as a function of job characteristics, personality factors, and demographic characteristics; and turnover as a function of job satisfaction and burnout. Job satisfaction was positively associated with the job characteristic autonomy and the personality factor agreeableness.
