Abstract

This comparative study has been undertaken in Tirunelveli City, Tamilnadu with the objectives of identifying and differentiating perception of nurses working in multi-speciality hospitals and single speciality hospitals towards push and pull factors of employee turnover. The study has analyzed 24 factors in terms of push factors and 18 factors in terms of pull factors. The study has stratified the target group into nurses working in multi-speciality hospitals and nurses working in single speciality hospitals using stratified random sampling techniques.
