Abstract:

Employees' organizational role stress and work-family conflict have significant effects on many organizational outcomes. One of these organizational outcomes is intention to leave. This study aimed to determine the mediating role of work-family conflict in the relationship between organizational role stress and intention to leave. The study was carried out on 353 participants working in various companies operating in the service and manufacturing sector. Convenience sampling method was used in the selection of the participants. Questionnaire method, which is a quantitative research method, was used in the research. The online questionnaire created with the Google form was delivered to the participants and the analysis phase of the study was carried out with the data of the participants who participated in the research with their consent. As a result of the analysis made with AMOS 25 and SPSS 25, positive and significant relationships were found among employees' organizational role stress, work-family conflict and intention to leave. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the work-family conflict of the employees played a partial mediating role between their organizational role stress and their intention to leave. No study has been found in the literature examining the mediating role of work-family conflict in the relationship between organizational role stress and intention to leave. Therefore, it can be said that this study is an original and valuable study.
