Impact of Supportive Work Environment on Employee Turnover Intention with Mediating Role of Organization Commitment: Evidence from Banking Sector

Abstract

This investigation aims to examine the impact of supportive work environment on employee turnover intention with mediating role of organizational commitment. Questionnaire was used for data collection. The research design of this study is cross sectional. A quantitative research method is used in this study. The study is based on survey research design. Study population comprise of banking employees in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. As it is difficult to gather data from the whole population because of asset imperatives and different restrictions of time, sampling is the commonly utilized technique to gather data. The sample consists of 80 banking employees in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Cronbach's alpha was utilized in the examination. The value is 0.711 hence greater than 0.70, which means that the instrument is reliable.The mean value of SWE is 3.46500with standard deviation of 0.468529 and min and max values of 2.600 and 4.400. Furthermore, Organisational Commitment has a mean value of 3.241666663 with min and max values of 2.5555556 and 3.8888888. Turnover Intention has a mean value of 3.38500.The result shows that Organisational Commitment is significantly linked with SWE (r=0.455& p value <0.05). There is insignificant link between Turnover Intention and SWE (r=-0.133 & p value >0.05).Organisational Commitment is significantly linked with Turnover Intention (r=-0.457& p value <0.05). The regression results indicate that the value of R is 0.2067 suggesting that SWE explain 67% variation in the dependent variable. Furthermore, in this study we have fit a series of regression models. First using the independent variable we predict the mediator variable. Then we predict the dependent variable using both mediator as well as independent variable. Finally, we predict the dependent variable using the independent variable. The result indicates that independent variable significantly affect mediator variable as well as dependent variable. However, in the presence of mediator the independent variable is no longer significant. Hence, the effect of mediation is confirmed.
