Compared to others, professionals share distinguish workplace characteristics: one such is the high commitment to the professions over to working organizations. Information Technology (IT) professionals demonstrate higher turnover rates compared to others: their commitments to the profession has been suspected as a source of turnover. Considering their job satisfactions the present study aimed to investigate the influence of professional commitment on IT professionals’ turnover intentions. Data were collected from a sample of software engineers from Sri Lank using a survey questionnaire. The results of the structural equation model analysis concluded that professional commitment weakens IT professionals’ turnover intentions, which is partially mediated by job satisfaction. Professional commitment stimulates IT professionals’ job satisfaction. The findings challenge the presumption that IT professionals leave their organizations due to high commitments to the profession. Few factors were identified as significant in their job satisfactions: supervision, co-workers and work design. Pay and promotions were the least influencing job satisfaction factors. Managers may employ few strategies in their retention strategies: facilitate professional advancement needs within organizations, closely monitor supervision activities occurs and provide challenging and meaningful jobs. The study contributes to the turnover literature through empirical evidence on the influence of professional commitment on knowledge workers’ turnover intentions.

Employee turnover has become a key performance indicator for many organizations as they struggle to retain talented employees. The negative impact of turnover on organizational performance has continually forced organizational leaders to seek better ways of retaining valuable employees. The relationship between man and work has always attracted the attention of philosophers. A major part of men’s life is spent at work. Work is social reality and social expectation to which men seem to conform. It not only provides status to the individual but also binds him to the society. An employee who is satisfied with his job would perform his duties well and be committed to his job, and subsequently to his organization. This paper examines relationship among job satisfaction, organizational commitment and employees’ turnover intentions at Unilever Corporation in Nigeria. The data for this study was collected from 117 employees currently working at Unilever Nigeria PLC using the survey method via the questionnaire. Pearson Correlation and the multiple regression analysis techniques using the SPSS version 22.0 was used for the data analysis. The findings of the study revealed that both job satisfaction and organizational commitment have significant negative relationship with employee turnover intentions.

The study delved into the impact of intragroup conflict on turnover intentions and cultural commonalities and differences in job satisfaction that mediates the relationship. To identify correlations among intragroup conflict, job satisfaction and turnover intentions for each Korean and Chinese employee, the study analyzed questionnaires used to survey Korean employees working at Korean companies and Chinese workers in Korean companies based in China. The study divided intragroup conflict into two types - relation conflict and task conflict - and looked into the impact of each conflict on turnover intentions, and found that both types of conflict heightened turnover intentions of both Korean and Chinese workers. The study also attempted to prove the mediating effects of job satisfaction on the relationship between relation conflict and task conflict, and turnover intentions. As a result, mediating effects were found only in the relationship between relation conflict and turnover intentions among Chinese employees, while Korean workers saw the same effects only in the relationship between task conflict and turnover intentions. The above-mentioned results indicate the following implications. Firstly, there were common effects of intragroup conflict on turnover intentions for both Korean and Chinese employees. Such effect can be understood from culture universal perspective. Secondly, differences emerged in the mediating effects of job satisfaction in the relationship between turnover intentions and intra-group conflicts. That is understandable from culture specific perspective. Thirdly, the result that can be inferred from the aforementioned findings is that when it comes to cross-cultural research on methods of management, it is important to consider two types of approaches - culture universal and culture specific approaches. Lastly, the study also indicated that companies operating overseas should seek both localized and global management.

Human resource capital is the most strategic part of any organization. Retention of human resources is a critical issue these days. Keeping in view the importance of human capital and its retention, present study aimed to explore the impact of two strong predictors, job satisfaction and organizational commitment, on turnover intentions of employees in banking sector of Pakistan. 250 Survey questionnaires are distributed in Islamic and Conventional banks to elicit responses of professionals among which 207 questionnaires are returned and used for analysis. Findings reveal surprisingly contradictory results from previous studies. Job Satisfaction and organizational commitment are having very negligible impact on turnover intentions. Although employees are not much satisfied as well as committed with the organization but still they have minimal intention towards leaving the organization. Results indicated that turnover intentions of employees in banking sector of Pakistan depend on various other factors. Results are surprising but the paradox can be understood by keeping in view few demographics of respondents as well as the economic condition of the country. The study has significant decision-making implications for banks and called for an urgently inquiry about those influential factors that largely affect the turnover intentions of their employees. In addition, banks also need to apply measures to enhance the job satisfaction and organizational commitment as empirical results indicate very less satisfaction and commitment of employees.

Nursing turnover is a growing concern yet little is known about the turnover intentions of new graduate nurses (NGNs) employed in float pools. The purpose of this study was to describe the relationship between job satisfaction, work environment and psychological capital and turnover intentions among NGNs employed in float pools in acute care hospitals. A descriptive crosssectional, correlational non-experimental design was utilized with a sample of 56 NGNs employed in the float pool at two quaternary Canadian hospitals. Data were collected using an online survey and analyzed using multiple hierarchical regression. Job satisfaction was found to be the most significant predictor of turnover intentions and the overall study model accounted for 25-27% of variance of turnover intentions. Further development of organizational strategies is needed to improve job satisfaction, reduce turnover and improve retention to optimize patient care delivery, prevent loss of valuable clinical expertise and reduce costs of turnover.

As the beauty industry grows and the level of beauty technology increases, companies must deploy highly qualified workers, among whom beauty salons are certificates obtained by the best technology hairdressers in the beauty field, but they require high technology, time and cost, but have low acceptance and recognition. Therefore, in this study, we sought to investigate the effect of beauty salon perceptions on compositional systems, job satisfaction and turnover intentions for general hairdressers, and analyzed a total of 289 copies using SPSS21.0 as a self-entry survey. First, female managers in their 40s, who earn more than 5 million won with more than seven years of experience, and secondly, the necessity, adequacy, complement, job satisfaction, and turnover were derived in a single dimension. Third, due to the effect of recognition of beauty functional systems on the composition of beauty functional testing systems, the higher the propensity for recognition, the higher the propensity for appropriateness, and the higher the propensity for subsidiarity. Fourth, job satisfaction showed a fifth definition relationship with a higher propensity for awareness, and a higher tendency for turnover meant a definition relationship with a higher propensity for awareness. As such, it is very important to raise awareness of beauty salons in order to develop the beauty industry and improve advanced technology, and efforts should be made to establish a system to revitalize the beauty salons' system on-site.
