description Firms in China have been struggling with a high turnover rate in recent years. Thus, it is critical that Chinese employers recognize factors affecting turnover intention of employees. In addition, there are study tested the direct relationships of perceived mentoring function and perceived fairness on turnover intention. However, the process of linking the perceived mentoring function (PMF) and perceived organizational fairness (POF) on turnover intention is lacking. Based on these gaps, a cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate 508 responses in China regarding the turnover intention. Data collected were analysed by using multiple regression analysis to examine the direct relationships of PMF and POF on turnover intention. In addition, it also tested the mediating role of perceived organizational support (POS) in the relationship between PMF/POF and turnover intention. The findings show that POS significantly mediates POF on turnover intention, but not PMF on turnover intention. This study contributes to the knowledge by broadening the literature of turnover intention from direct and indirect impact of PMF, POF and POS perspective as well as shed light to practitioners the way to lower the turnover intention of the employee.
