DOES EMPLOYEE RETENTION IMPACT TURNOVER INTENTION? AN EXPLORATION OF THE MEDIATING ROLE OF JOB SATISFACTION
Abstract
This study aims to examine the effect of employee retention on turnover intention, both directly and through the mediation of job satisfaction. The population in this study were employees of CV Sido Raya Utama Sidoarjo, with a total of 42 employees using total sampling technique. The method used is path analysis with data collection using questionnaires. The results of this study indicate that employee retention reduces turnover intention while increasing job satisfaction. In addition, job satisfaction has a negative impact on turnover intention and acts as a mediator between employee retention and turnover intention. These findings indicate the importance of an effective employee retention strategy to increase job satisfaction and reduce turnover intention. Companies must create retention policies that can improve employee welfare and satisfaction to reduce high turnover rates.
