The correlation result implied that pay has strong negative relationship (r=-573, p<0.01) with employees' turnover intention, moderate negative relationship obtained with benefit (r=-0.363, p<0.01), similarly, moderate negative relationship obtained with promotion (r=-0.423, p<0.01), strong negative relationship obtained with recognition & appreciation (r=-0.542, p<0.01), work environment also found (r=-0.720, p<0.01). Whereas, training & development (r=-0.202, p>0.01) weak relationship is obtained with turnover intention. The result that obtained from regression analysis implied, 62.2% of variation in employees’ turnover intention is explained by pay, benefits, promotion, recognition & appreciation, training & development and work environment.
