Objectives: Using Herzberg’s motivation and hygiene theory, this study examined the effect of nursing professionalism and job embeddedness on intention to stay among nurses working in tertiary hospitals. Methods: Data collected from 226 nurses at K Hospital, S City, through a structured questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient, and Multiple Regression analysis using the SPSS Win 23.0 program. Results: Intention to stay in the job was significantly positively correlated with nursing professionalism (r=.518, p<.001) and job embeddedness (r=.595, p<.001). The sub-factors affecting nurses’ intention to stay in the job were age (β =.330, p<.001), seniority of the nurse (β=−.175, p=.005), urge to change jobs (β=−.152, p=.002), and desired length of employment (β=.328, p<.001). All of these variables were identified as statistically significant, and their explanatory power was 58.2%. Conclusions: Conclusions: This study underscores the need to develop and implement training programs differentiated by career and position to reduce the urge to change jobs and increase the desired length of service.
