Investigation of the Relationship Between Turnover Intention, Job Satisfaction and Organisational Commitment in the Context of Enforcement Protection Officers: A Meta-Analysis

Öz

This meta-analysis examines the links between job satisfaction, organisational commitment and turnover intention. A search of Web of Science, Scopus and ProQuest identified 3,844 studies and three datasets consisting of 2,091, 2,091 and 2,783 participants. The analysis reveals that job satisfaction and organisational commitment strongly affect turnover intention. The negative relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention indicates that low job satisfaction increases turnover intention. The findings emphasise the importance of targeted initiatives to improve the retention and performance of correctional officers.

İşten Ayrılma Niyeti, İş Tatmini ve Örgütsel Bağlılık Arasındaki İlişkinin İnfaz Koruma Memurları Bağlamında İncelenmesi: Bir Meta-Analiz

Öz

Bu meta-analiz, iş tatmini, örgütsel bağlılık ve işten ayrılma niyeti arasındaki bağlantıları incelemektedir. Web of Science, Scopus ve ProQuest'te yapılan araştırmada 3.844 çalışma tespit edilmiş, 2.091, 2.091 ve 2.783 katılımcıdan oluşan üç veri seti oluşturulmuştur. Analiz, iş tatmini ve örgütsel bağlılığın işten ayrılma niyetini güçlü bir şekilde etkilediğini ortaya koymaktadır. İş tatmini ile işten ayrılma niyeti arasındaki negatif ilişki, düşük iş tatmininin ayrılma niyetini artırdığını göstermektedir. Bulgular, ıslah memurlarının elde tutulması ve performansını artırmak için hedefli girişimlerin önemini vurgulamaktadır
