The Mediating Role Of Trust In Supervisor In The Relationship Between Psychological Contract Breach And Turnover Intention

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the mediating role of ‘trust in supervisor’ in the relationship between ‘psychological contract breach’ and ‘turnover intention’. In this context, data was obtained by surveying 397 employees working in Erzincan Municipality. The data was analyzed using the SPSS 22 and AMOS 24 statistical package programs. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that ‘psychological contract breach’ is positively correlated with ‘turnover intention’ and negatively correlated with ‘trust in supervisor’. Moreover, a negative relationship was identified between ‘trust in supervisor’ and ‘turnover intention’. Finally, it was determined that ‘psychological contract breach’ indirectly impacts ‘turnover intention’ through ‘trust in supervisor’.
