Abstract

The growing turnover of healthcare staff is a major concern for healthcare organizations because it affects employment stability and service quality.  Factors such as career stagnation and chronic fatigue are intricately linked to turnover intention; however, cynicism may influence this relationship by either reinforcing or diminishing it.  This research seeks to assess the relationship between career plateau and burnout, with cynicism as a mediating variable, on turnover intention among healthcare workers in East Java.  This research employed a quantitative methodology utilizing an explanatory design.  The research sample included 122 respondents who were chosen by purposive sampling. The research instrument used was a Likert scale questionnaire, which was analysed using SmartPLS 3.  The findings of the research indicated that career stagnation significantly influenced turnover intention, alongside chronic fatigue.  Furthermore, cynicism exhibited a partial correlation with both career stagnation and burnout.  This indicates that healthcare organisations ought to focus on career development and burnout prevention to mitigate employee turnover rates.
