Estimates indicate that affective commitment has a stronger relationship with the intent to turnover for an organization for the studies done in non-Arab countries than for those in Arab countries. However, the opposite appears to be true for satisfaction with pay. First, the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intentions for an organization were stronger in the Arab countries than non-Arab countries. Location did appear to be a moderator with regards to some of the other attitudinal reactions.

Results:the relationship between age and the turnover intention for the organization is stable between studies done in Arab and non-Arab countries, as the confidence intervals overlapped. After training, coding disagreements and discrepancies were resolved through consensus among coders and authors. Three graduate students were trained to code, review the databases and data entry processes. A set of inclusion criteria were established to retaine 118 studies with unique samples given for the purpose of the current meta-analysis. The electronic portion of the search covered eight computer databases. Methodology: The literature search covered articles that had been published from1971 to 2010. Aim: The present research aimed to explore the impact of the inappropriate utilization of hospital resources on nurse's turnover intentions in Arab as well as non-Arab countries using a meta-analysis.

Integrating research findings across studies is necessary to identify the most important causal factors so interventions aimed at reducing turnover in the healthcare field can be properly targeted.

It decreases customer satisfaction, future revenue growth, productivity and profitability.

Background: turnover is a widespread and costly problem within the healthcare industry in both Arab and non-Arabcountries.
