Objective:

To evaluate the status of perceived organizational climate, work engagement, and turnover intention among young nurses, emphasizing the mediating role of work engagement through a humanistic care lens.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • Significant interrelationships were found among perceived organizational climate, work engagement, and turnover intention, with work engagement partially mediating the relationship and explaining 34.78% of the variance, highlighting its importance in nursing retention strategies.
    Interpretation:

    Organizational climate serves as a critical job resource that may buffer turnover intention by fostering higher levels of work engagement, which is essential for improving nursing practice and retention.

    Limitations:
    • The study's cross-sectional design limits causal inferences, and the convenience sampling from a single institution may affect the generalizability of the findings, suggesting the need for further research across diverse settings.
    Conclusion:

    To maintain workforce stability, nursing managers should integrate humanistic care into organizational policies, such as mentorship programs and supportive work environments, to cultivate a supportive atmosphere.
