Abstract
Maldistribution of skilled health workers between urban and rural area, especially pharmacist hasbecome a global phenomenon. Not only the developing countries but also the developed countrylike the United States has been facing the same issue for a decades. Thus, many researchers havebeen trying to figure it out the reasons behind this occurrence. In their studies, most of the researchers agreed that fresh graduates from pharmacy school were willing to work in the rural area. Therefore the primary aim of this study is to identify the important factors that can affect pharmacystudents’ intention to work in rural area. Additionally, this study also tests the mediating effect ofinterest on the intention to work in the rural area of pharmacy students. A conceptual model isdeveloped based on the two popular theories; namely theory of individual behavior and theory ofinterest. This model consists of three independent and one mediating and dependent variable. Aquantitative approach is used to test the hypotheses. With a structured questionnaire, this study ismanaged to get 675 students from different pharmacy schools. Multiple regression and Sobel testsare applied to test the direct and mediating effect. Results show that two out of three had a significant direct effect on pharmacy students’ intention to work in rural area. Similarly, a mediating effectalso reveals the same. Based on the results, it is clear that predisposing variable is the most important for the pharmacy students’ interest to work in the rural area. The finding of this study,indeed, fills the paucity of the empirical evidence regarding pharmacy students’ working intentionto the rural area, especially in the Indonesian context. Based on the findings, this study providesseveral recommendations for the government as well as pharmacy curricula developer.
