Findings: Based on the results, in total, 31 causes were identified, which were categorized into two main themes and six sub-themes. The main theme of organizational causes includes six sub-themes of causes related to organizational culture, causes related to performance evaluation system, causes related to service compensation, managerial causes, causes related to job, and weak human resources development. The main theme of individual causes includes two sub-themes of contextual causes and behavioral/psychological causes.
