Abstract :

The purpose of this research was designing and testing a model of some antecedents of turnover intention. The sample of this study consisted of 350 employees from Aghajari Oil and Gas Production Company who were selected by stratified random sampling method. The instruments used in the study were psychological contract breach questionnaire, perceived organizational support questionnaire, organizational learning culture questionnaire, organizational justice questionnaire, and organizational commitment questionnaire, trust in top management questionnaire and turnover intention questionnaire. Structural equation modeling (SEM), and SPSS-22 and AMOS-22 softwares were used for data analysis. Results indicated that the proposed model fit the data properly. The findings regarding direct paths showed that all of them are statistically significant. Findings also showed that organizational commitment plays a mediating role on the relationship between psychological contract breach, perceived organizational support and organizational learning culture with turnover intention and trust in top management on the relationship of organizational justice and turnover intention.
