The specific topic that will be researched is the relationship between employee job satisfaction and turnover rates in the healthcare industry. This research is related to the field of Health Services Administration, which is my major.

This data is interesting to study because employee turnover is a significant issue in the healthcare industry, with significant financial and organizational costs. Understanding the factors that impact job satisfaction and employee turnover rates can help healthcare administrators create better work environments and retain valuable employees.

The hope is to better understand the factors that contribute to employee job satisfaction in healthcare and how they impact employee turnover rates. This research will provide insights for healthcare employers to improve job satisfaction and reduce turnover rates, increasing productivity and profitability.
