Abstrakt: Aim: To identify the factors associated with bullying and turnover intention among nurses. Background: Previous studies have demonstrated an association between leadership, bullying and turnover intention. However, few studies to date have addressed this topic among nurses. Methods: A cross‐sectional study was conducted using web‐based data collection followed by data analysis using logistic regression and multinomial logistic regression models. Results: Having more than one job (odds ratio (OR) = 2.9) and a low relationship‐oriented leadership style (OR = 5.8) were positively associated with personal and work‐related bullying, respectively. A low relationship‐oriented leadership style (OR = 4.0), age of 19–29 years (OR = 4.5) and length of employment at the institution of 5–10 years (OR = 4.9) were positively correlated with a high turnover intention. The following variables were correlated with a moderate turnover intention: a low relationship‐oriented leadership style (OR = 3.4), having a bachelor's degree (OR = 2.0) and working in a philanthropic institution (OR = 2.5). Working in a private institution (OR = 0.8) was negatively associated with a moderate turnover intention. Conclusions: A low relationship‐oriented leadership style and social and work factors were associated with bullying and turnover intention. Implications for Nurse Managers: Nurse managers, in addition to developing technical skills, need to develop skills to manage human relationships to prevent bullying and turnover among nurses.
