Originality: This study is unique as it analyzed the moderating effect of career commitment on the relationship between work-family conflict, emotional exhaustion and turnover intentions among the healthcare professionals. Practical implications: This study provides guidelines for organizational and individual interventions, indicating that withdrawal from the profession may be reduced by lowering work-family conflict and improving career commitment.
