Data were collected by closed-ended questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS 24.0 in terms of mean, multiple regression, and Pearson correlation. Education level, alternate job opportunities, job security, rewards and benefits, work environment, management style, and overtime availability were found to have significant effects on turnover intention, whereas age, marital status, tenure and attraction to gratuity withdrawal do not have significant effects on turnover intention. The factors found as causes of turnover need to be improved in order to retain employees in organization, who will help in achieving organizational goals.
