Abstract

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Using a Probit regression model, this study examines organizational factors contributing to hospital chief executive officer (CEO) turnover. The study concludes that some organizational environments are more conducive to turnover. Hospitals that are smaller, are on the West Coast, are investor owned, are church related, offer many services, have high service usage, and larger hospitals with female CEOs are more likely to experience turnover.
