The Effect of Empowerment on Employees'
Turnover Intention
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the predictability of turnover intention through employees empowerment by dependent variables such as trust in higher managers, organizational identification, job involvement and burnout. For measuring the variables, standard questionnaires were applied. Data were obtained by stratified random sampling from employees of the central organization of Khorasan Razavi Jihad Keshavarzi. The Results derived from correlation analysis by Pierson method revealed an acceptable correlation among all variables. LISREL software path analysis indicated that empowerment can best predict turnover intention through trust in higher management, organizational identification, job involvement and burnout. Burnout, however, turned out to be a stronger mediator for predicting the effects of empowerment on turnover intention.
