A hospital administrator is investigating why the turnover rate is so high and why it is difficult to attract new nursing employees. Which situation is most likely to have resulted in this problem?
1. The hospital is in a poorer part of town and offers a great deal of charity care.
2. The hospital pays about $.25 per hour less than other hospitals as a starting wage for nurses.
3. The hospital has a reputation for allowing bullying behavior to occur.
4. The other hospital in town has a more modern building and campus.

Rationale 1: While some staff may be put-off by the area of town and the fact that charity care is provided, this is not the most probably reason for the situation.
Rationale 2: Twenty-five cents is not enough of a difference in wages to explain this situation.
Rationale 3: People do not like to be bullied. If the hospital has this reputation it is unlikely to attract new employees and older employees are likely to leave.
Rationale 4: Physical facilities are important, but are not likely important enough to be the most probable cause of this situation.
