Voluntary turnover in nursing can lead to nursing shortages that affect both individuals and the entire hospital unit. We investigated the relationship between group- and individual-level variables by examining the association of nurses’ job satisfaction and team commitment at the individual level, and nurse-physician collaboration at the group level, with individuals’ intention to leave the unit at the individual level. At the individual level, job satisfaction and team affective commitment are important factors for retaining staff, and at the group level, good work collaboration with physicians is instrumental in developing nurses’ affective identification with the team.
