Totally 260 questionnaires were distributed and valid questionnaires were recovered and respond rate was 97%. There was a significant negative correlation between the workload and job satisfaction (r=-.043，P＜.001). The workload and willingness to stay were negative correlated (r = -.171, P <.001). Job satisfaction and willingness to stay were significant positive correlation (r = 2.881, P <.001). In addition, the overall model with the appropriate degree of χ2 / df = 0.87, CFI = 1.000, GFI = 0.987, AGFI = 0.972, and RMSEA = 0.000, indicating that the mediation model has goodness of fit.
