Job Satisfaction, Behavioral Intention, and Absenteeism as Predictors of Turnover

Measures of overall job satisfaction, intention about remaining with the company, and frequency of absences were correlated with termination over two one-year periods for a sample of female clerical employees. A step-wise multiple regression indicated that both intent to remain with the company and frequency of absences added to the prediction of turnover during both one-year periods. Job satisfaction did not add to the prediction for either year.
