Abstract

The competitiveness of a business depends on its ability to retain its people resources. Performance can suffer if a high-capacity star employee leaves a corporation. Progression had led the IT sector in Pakistan to an increased excessive pay of jobs for employees to develop. In this study, we examine the relationships between elements connected to the workplace, such as job stress, person-organization fit, and employees’ intention to leave their jobs in the software industry of Pakistan. 400 Office workers in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad Pakistan were subjected to standardized questionnaires using quantitative research methodology. The theory that supported this paper is Person-Organization fit theory and path analysis was conducted using hypothesis testing and discriminant validity using Fornell and Larcker criterion (FLC) method. The hypotheses include Financial Security and Organizational Culture significantly impact Turnover Intention and Organizational Commitment. Financial Security and Organizational Culture are mediated by Person-Organization Fit on Turnover Intention and Organizational Commitment. Financial Security is moderated by Job Stress, Organizational Culture is moderated by Generational characteristics on Turnover Intention and Organizational Commitment. The results of the Measurement Model using the PLS algorithm technique suggest Financial stability does influence organizational commitment and turnover intention. Generational traits have a positive influence and a moderating effect on the connection between corporate culture ways of intention to leave, and the relationship between company culture. This wallows future research and investigates the proposed employment turnover model with a different sample in different countries and regions of Pakistan.
