DOI: doi.org/10.61812/rpea.v2i2.48

Resumo

This study aims to verify the effect of job satisfaction on the intention to stay or leave the company. A quantitative research was conducted with individuals actively engaged in the job market, holding formal employment contracts. Participants received a link to a questionnaire containing questions formulated to assess how satisfaction may influence the intention to stay or leave the company. The results highlighted the influence of satisfaction on the intention to stay or leave the company. Employees satisfied with their company establish a reciprocal relationship, benefiting both the company, which gains engaged employees, and the employees, who feel motivated to perform their tasks. This symbiotic relationship reinforces the importance of considering satisfaction as a determinant in employee retention and turnover.

Keywords: Satisfaction, Intention to stay, Intention to leave.
