Abstract: The objective of this research was to study the environmental, organizational structure, administrative and personnel factors that affected the job retention of generation Y nurses at Police General Hospital. This research used the quantitative research method of a survey to collect data from a sample population of 129 Generation Y nurses. They were chosen through a simple random sampling of nurses who met the inclusion criteria. The research instrument was a questionnaire about factors affecting the job retention of nurses at Police General Hospital. The content validity indexes of each question item were between 0.80-1.00 and the average of the whole version was 0.99. The Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients were between 0.714-0.925. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that environmental factors could predict the job retention of generation Y nurses at Police General Hospital to a statistically significant degree at p=0.001. Environmental factors explained 19.5% of the variation in job retention of generation Y nurses at Police General Hospital. Environmental factors had a statistically significant (p=0.001) medium-level positive correlation with job retention. In addition, the factor of personnel had a statistically significant (p=0.05) low-level positive correlation with job retention. The factors of organizational structure and administration were not found to be correlated with job retention.
