Employees are social beings who have their own backgrounds, personalities and ways of thinking. Employees also often have different ways of dealing with problems, including in terms of handling stress so that the company cannot predict the employee's attitude.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between psychological contracts and work stress with turnover intention. The sample of this study was 274 employees of the sales department of retail companies in Purwokerto. Data were collected using a psychological contract scale, job stress scale, and turnover intention questionnaire.

Conventional wisdom tells us that only if the employees are paid enough, they can be made happy consequently productive. However, studies have suggested that the nature of the relations between employer and employee have a vital role to play in employee’s job satisfaction, Likewise, employee’s intention to leave the organization is influenced by both money related factors and relational elements. Studies suggest that the nature of the employer-employee relationship significantly affects the employee perceptions and reactions. Psychological Contract is a model which will help one to understand the employer-employee relationship. The mutual expectations and obligations proportionate to each one’s contribution is a general way to define psychological contract. Research suggests that a breach of this contract can affect the organizational outcomes and employee reactions negatively. This study considers the psychological contract breach from the employees’ perspective. Although studies have been made on the effect of psychological contract breach on several organizational outcomes, little effort has been noticed to be made to study the effect of the commonly identified dimensions – relational contract breach and transactional contract breach- on the employee reactions. While social and emotional factors such as loyalty and support contribute to relational contract, compensation and personal benefits contribute to transactional contracts. This work is noteworthy as it assesses the effect of relational contract breach and transactional contract breach on job satisfaction and employee turnover intention. The study also examines the effect of individual level variable- tenure – on the relationship of RCB and TCB with job satisfaction and turnover intention. Respondents to this study were 228 teachers from the self-financing colleges in the district of Ernakulam, Kerala in India. The results suggest that relational and transactional contract breaches will lead to significant employee reactions- reduces job satisfaction and enhances turnover intention. Tenure moderates the relationship between relational contract breach and turnover intention but not between relational contract breach and job satisfaction. Conversely, tenure moderates the transactional contract breach- turnover intention relationship but not transactional contract breach- job satisfaction.

Abstract. This study investigated the mediating role of coping humor in the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and job satisfaction. Participants were 398 primary school teachers in China, who completed the Wong Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, Coping Humor Scale, and Overall Job Satisfaction Scale. Results showed that coping humor was a significant mediator between EI and job satisfaction. A further examination revealed, however, that coping humor only mediated two sub-dimensions of EI (use of emotion and regulation of emotion) and job satisfaction. Implications for future research and limitations of the study are discussed.

Turnover Intention (intensitas perpindahan) adalah keinginan berpindah karyawan dari satu tempat kerja ketempat kerja lainnya. Hanya keinginan untuk pindah, belum sampai realisasi untuk melakukan perpindahan. Turnover merupakan kejadian yang wajar dalam setiap perusahaan. Namun jika penggantian karyawan ini karena faktor produktifitas, maka dapat diantisipasi oleh perusahaan melalui penyiapan kader-kader untuk menggantikan. Jika penggantian karyawan tidak berkaitan dengan implementasi program kerja yang telah ditetapkan, maka hal ini akan sangat menyulitkan perusahaan. Pada penelitian ini ingin mengetahui karakteristik karyawan setrta mengetahui variabel yang berpengaruh terhadap Turnover Intention melalui analisis korespondensi. Setelah diperoleh variabel berpengaruh selanjutnya digunakan untuk mencari model regresi logistik ordinal. Dari model regresi logistik selanjutnya digunakan untuk mencari besarnya probabilitas Turnover Intention karyawan. Dimana Turnover Intention dipengaruhi oleh Job satisfaction of work, Social support, sedangkan untuk Job satisfaction dipengaruhi oleh Quality of supervisior, dan compensation. Hasil pengolahan diketahui bahwa variabel yang berpengaruh adalah Job satisfaction katagori puas dan Social support katagori puas. Probabilitas Turnover Intention level tinggi dan level rendah hampir sama yaitu sebesar 0.119 dan 0,118. Sebagian besar probabilitas Turnover Intention berada pada level sedang yaitu sebesar 0,763. Kondisi tersebut perlu mendapat perhatian dari perusahaan agar karyawan yang berada pada probabilitas Turnover Intention level sedang dapat beralih menjadi level rendah dengan cara meningkatkan kepuasan kerja dan dukungan sosial pada diri karyawannya.

Exposing nursing staff to workplace violence workplace violence (WV) affects their psychological, emotional, and physical health; engenders increased workload; affects the medical reciprocity between nurses and patients; and ultimately leads to staff turnover intention. To preventing WV, development of intervention strategies and WV prevention measures are crucial. This study discusses the mediating effect of job control, psychological needs, and social support on WV and turnover intention. Through this discussion, this study aims to aid medical institutions in reducing their nursing staff turnover rate and to provide a reference for hospital management and decision making. A cross-sectional research method was adopted and conducted quantitative research to prove the complexity of the relationship between WV and turnover intention. Participants comprised clinical nurses working in 2 regional teaching hospital in central Taiwan. A total of 268 questionnaires were distributed, and 213 completed questionnaires were returned. Of the returned questionnaires, 198 contained valid responses, yielding a response rate of 73.9%. Our results demonstrated the mechanisms through which psychological demands and social support mediate the relationship between WV and turnover intention. This study determined the mediating effects of psychological demands and social support. The results expand the findings of previous research and demonstrate the complexity of the relationship between WV and turnover intention. Hospitals should formulate effective mechanisms for preventing and addressing incidents of WV, improve their ability to address and regulate violent incidents in clinics, reduce the psychological pressure exerted on employees, and establish communication channels for social support.
