employees of Ministry of Health (MOH) Malaysia. Methods: A nationwide study was carried out in order to identify
dimensions of job satisfaction and turnover intention among public healthcare employees. Data was collected by
means of self-administered questionnaire and distributed based on quota sampling. Results: The study shows that
public healthcare workforce is generally satisfied with their work (mean 3.45). In addition, medical specialists
and assistant medical officers were found to be significantly more satisfied than other job designations. However,
intention to resign was high among medical specialists, pharmacists and dentists. A high proportion of medical
specialists also had received job offers from the private sector. Conclusion: The findings showed that employee
turnover may not necessarily be due to job dissatisfaction, but rather due to demand from the private sector.
