Job satisfaction as mediator between job characteristics, personality traits, work engagement and voluntary turnover intention: a conceptual paper
In today's workplace, the rate of turnover has risen. Employee turnover is divided into two categories, which defined as voluntary turnover and involuntary turnover. Due to the rising voluntary turnover rate, organizations are confronted with difficulties, since the issue of voluntary turnover...

Due to the rising voluntary turnover rate, organizations are confronted with difficulties, since the issue of voluntary turnover has become a major concern for businesses all over the world.
