| description | This paper focuses on the IT consultancy sector, an area of strategic importance within the Spanish economy and its mains aim is to analyse the impact that the support perceived by employees has on their organizational commitment and turnover intention.We distributed a questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale among 1000 professionals from various companies in the IT consultancy sector in Spain. The data collected were analysed using the PLS-SEM (partial least squares structural equation modelling) technique with the SmartPLS software. The analysis of the data demonstrates a negative relationship between employees’ perception of organizational support and their turnover intention, i.e., the greater the organizational support received, the lower the intention to leave the company. In companies where employees had a higher degree of organizational commitment, their intention to leave the company decreased to an even greater extent.This study shows that both the organizational support perceived by employees and their organizational commitment are important factors that influence their turnover intention; therefore, organizations need to take these aspects into consideration to reduce staff turnover rates. |
