 The impact of job rotation on nurses' professional development in public and private healthcareBaaba Essaabah Essel and Peace Kumah International Journal of Applied Management Science, 2025, vol. 17, issue 2, 215-235 Abstract: This study explores the impact of job rotation on nurses' professional development in public and private healthcare settings, focusing on skills and knowledge, career growth, organisational outcomes and personal development. Data was collected from 240 nurses in 12 health centres in Ghana. Exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression were employed to analyse the relationships between job rotation factors and employee professional development. The study revealed a positive association between skills and knowledge, career growth and organisational outcomes with employee professional development. Personal development showed a positive but insignificant effect. Skills and knowledge emerged as the most influential predictors of employee development. The findings suggest that well-managed job rotation practices can yield positive outcomes for employee professional development. Healthcare facilities are encouraged to adopt job rotation strategies to enhance the careers of newly recruited health employees. Keywords: job rotation; career development; skills and knowledge; personal development; employee professional development.
