Developing a conceptual model to measure talent’s turnover intention in tourism organisations of Saudi Arabia

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to propose an appropriate conceptual model for examining talent’s intention to quit, job satisfaction, job performance and organisational performance.

Design/methodology/approach

The proposed model is developed on the basis of the theoretical and logical arguments of constructs picked out from the prior literature. Its framework is that of Bagozzi (1992), where factors such as job satisfaction, affective organisational commitment and turnover intention are seen as major concerns in the literature on talent management.

Findings

The paper makes 16 propositions concerning significant relationships of these constructs with job satisfaction, job performance, organisational performance and turnover intention.

Research limitations/implications

It concludes with an acknowledgement of the limitations, suggestions for future research and theoretical contributions.

Originality/value

Its framework is that of Bagozzi (1992), where factors such as job satisfaction, affective organisational commitment and turnover intention are seen as major concerns in the literature on talent management.
