The digital industry in Malaysia employs an estimated 355,000 employees and the average attrition rate was 17% in 2017. The Millennials or the Generation Y were born in between 1980 to 1993 that would formulate 75% of the labor force by 2025. However, Gen Y workforce are hard to maintain as they are primarily concerned on temporary job prospects and immediate outcomes. Gen Y employees contribute to greater level of turnover rate and retaining them is a significant challenge for the organizations. This paper presents a review of the intention to stay by Gen Y employees in Malaysia. This study will answer three questions. Firstly, this study will examine the concept of emotional intelligence used to retain Gen Y employees. The next question is to what extend does spiritual intelligence influence Gen Y intention to stay. The last question is whether perceived organizational support (POS) mediates the relationship between the constructs. The study aims to accentuate the key role of emotional and spiritual intelligence towards retaining Gen Y employees. A literature review on relationships between emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence and intention to stay was examined. The examination concluded that higher level of emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence are positive predictors of intention to stay. This study revealed that POS has both direct and indirect relationships between several organizational outcomes. There is a rareness of studies in the background of the role of emotional and spiritual intelligence and perceived organizational support of Gen Y employees. With the anticipated increase of Gen Y employees, this study will establish a better understanding and knowledge about Gen Y and offer them accurate tools to cooperate and manifest the accurate solutions. The findings are expected to present new insights in the manner of how Gen Y employees’ emotional and spiritual intelligence can contribute towards their intention to stay longer

Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating role of work engagement (WE) in the relationship between perceived organizational support (POS) and turnover intention (TI). Methodology: In this context, to test the model and hypotheses, research data were collected using a survey method from 427 public employees working in the healthcare sector in Erzincan province of Turkey. The data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS programs. Results: As a result of the analyses, it was found that perceived organizational support has a positive effect on work engagement and a negative effect on turnover intention, and work engagement and turnover intention variables are negatively correlated. It was also concluded that there was a partial mediating role of work engagement in the relationship between perceived organizational support and turnover intention. Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that WE has a partial intermediary role in the relationship between POS and TI. According to these findings, the support provided to the employee by the organization reduces employee intention to quit. In this context, when organizational management implements practices that will ensure employee commitment in addition to supporting employees and creating this perception, it can further reduce the intention of employees to quit.

This study examines the impact of both transformational leadership (TFL) and transactional leadership (TCL) on employee intention to stay (ITS) in deluxe hotels. It also examines the mediating role of organisational commitment (OC) in the relationship between leadership styles, i.e. TFL and TCL, and ITS. A pre-tested questionnaire survey was self-administered to front-line employees in deluxe hotels in Egypt, where these leadership styles were prominent. The key findings showed that TFL has more positive impact on OC and ITS than TCL. Affective commitment (AC) and normative commitment (NC) were found to partially mediate the relationship between both leadership styles and ITS. Employees exhibit higher ITS when they perceive proper leadership practices, especially TFL. Hotel executives should place more emphasis and investments on TFL to effectively achieve OC and positively influence ITS which is critical for the hotel industry that often suffers from high employee turnover.
