Abstract

The elderly population needing care is rapidly increasing in Korea due to the rapidly aging population, where a long-term care insurance system is fully implemented, and nursing homes have replaced the traditional care role of the family. Despite of visualizing social effects, accident rates are high in falls, bedsores and first aid. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically manage elderly care by strengthening the long-term service and professionalism of nursing caregivers, who are the core personnel of elderly care. This research empirically examined the effect of welfare benefits on the turnover intention of elderly nursing homes. Hypothesis 1 is partially adopted. First, funding support of welfare profit does not give significant influence on increasing trends of the job satisfaction. Second, cultural support of welfare profit gives significant effect on increasing trends of the job satisfaction. Third, life support of welfare profit gives significant influence on the increasing trends of job satisfaction. Fourth, facility support of welfare profit gives significant influence on increasing trends of the job satisfaction. Fifth, health support of welfare profit does not give significant influence on job satisfaction. Hypothesis 2 was adopted. Sixth, job satisfaction of caregivers gives significant influence on the reducing trends of turnover intention.
