Unfairness Pushes Ethiopian Healthcare Workers Towards the Exit
Healthcare workers in both public and private hospitals in the Amhara region of Ethiopia reported low perceived distributive and procedural justice. Distributive justice was the strongest predictor of turnover intention, which was high among healthcare workers in both public and private settings.
Possible Conflicts of Interest
None identified
Identified Weaknesses
Cross-sectional design
The cross-sectional design limits the ability to establish causality between organizational justice perceptions and turnover intention. A longitudinal study would provide stronger evidence.
Limited generalizability
The study focuses on a specific region in Ethiopia, limiting the generalizability of the findings to other contexts or healthcare systems.
Self-report bias
Self-reported measures of organizational justice and turnover intention are susceptible to social desirability bias and common method variance, potentially inflating the relationships between variables.
Lack of control variables
The study doesn't control for other factors that might influence turnover intention, such as job market conditions, alternative job opportunities, or personal circumstances. This could confound the relationship between organizational justice and turnover.
Small qualitative sample
The qualitative sample size is small (10 interviewees) and may not fully represent the diverse perspectives of healthcare workers.
Rating Explanation
The study presents a relevant topic and uses a mixed-methods approach, but several methodological limitations prevent a higher rating. The cross-sectional design, limited generalizability, potential for self-report bias, lack of control variables, and small qualitative sample size restrict the strength and generalizability of the findings.
