AIM: The current study aims to examine the moderating role of psychological ownership in the process that translates organisational support into nurses’ turnover intentions through job satisfaction. DESIGN: A cross‐sectional research design was used to test the hypotheses. METHOD: Using a purposive sampling 341 self‐completed survey data were collected from nurses working in two public hospitals in Iran. Structural equation modelling was used to analyse the data. RESULT: The research revealed that organisational support and job satisfaction were negatively related to a healthcare professionals’ turnover intention. Moreover, job satisfaction mediated the negative relationship between organisational support and turnover intention. The research also revealed that psychological ownership strengthened the positive relationship between organisational support and job satisfaction.
