Recently construction companies and real state of SMEs sector of Dubai, reported that they have a combine shortfall of skilled staff of up to 500,000.  In addition to that, recently tourism industry of UAE, one of the most dominating service sectors also reported the severe shortage of qualified hospitality staffs. The shortage of workforce in the industry is one of the major causes of unfair distribution of work load and also an unjust compensation and reward system in the overall industry.  The supply and demand of workforces is also one of the crucial predictor factors for job satisfaction and may lead to quit their job or to migration.While examining the various factors that may affect employee’s intention to leave, many research findings confirmed that job satisfaction caused the highest variance on to leaving intention.  To get the deeper analysis of the job satisfaction and its impact on employee’s intention to leave, many researchers argued that there were many facets of job satisfaction that may cause the leaving intentions and therefore job satisfaction has been considered a variables composed of multiple factors. It is evident that there are many studies had been conducted to examine the relationship between job satisfaction and employees leaving intentions. However, not many studies on the same line have been fully addressed in small and medium size firms in UAE working setting and also most of the studies sampling strategies had focused in industries in developed economies.  Therefore, it is believed to be a gap in the literature in the context of the job satisfaction and intent to leave in SMEs.
