Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Globally, research findings in workplaces of different industries have revealed a significant gender disparity instaff commitment and performance. The administrative design used for procedures and operational processes often causeshealth professionals to unintentionally adopt stereotypical routines or habits that divide males and females. This studyexplores gender imbalance and staff turnover issues in the healthcare sector based on this supposition. 4541 individuals,including managers and operational-level staff from the chosen healthcare facilities in the industry, participated in thestudy, which used a descriptive survey design for its analysis. Freud and William's formula, which yielded a sample sizeof 233 with a 10% margin of error from the population, is thus used. A series of questionnaires was utilised to collect thedata, and regression analysis was employed to look at the outcomes. The findings demonstrated that gender disparities inthe health sector had a statistically significant and positive impact on employee turnover. Thus, it is concluded that genderinequality significantly affects the sector's viability and production, in addition to employee turnover intentions.
