THE ANTECEDENTS OF EMPLOYEE TURNOVER: CASE OF TURKISH BOUTIQUE HOTELS
ABSTRACT
The study addressed the combined effects of Turkish employees' overall job satisfaction and organizational justice perceptions, on their intention to stay in boutique and special category hotels. Data is composed of 170 surveys collected from hotel personnel, who were employed in İstanbul and Antalya hotels. From the four justice dimensions which were investigated here, the employees' interpersonal and distributive justice perceptions emerged as the potent dimensions for predicting intention to stay. When overall job satisfaction was added to the hierarchical regression analysis, distributive justice was fully mediated by it. However, interpersonal justice remained as the second variable to predict intention to stay, pointing at prevalence of manager-employee relationship in deciding to leave or to stay by the employees (R-square=.47, p<.0001).
