The whole data analyses and hypothesis testing in this paper were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The research discovered that demographic factors including age, organizational tenure and income do not have negative and significant relationship with turnover intention; that controllable factors including job satisfaction (with pay, recognition, supervision), organizational commitment, and organizational citizenship behavior were negatively and significantly related to turnover intention; that one uncontrollable factor --- perceived alternative employment opportunity really has positive and significant relationship with turnover intention, but the other uncontrollable factor---job hopping was not found having significant relationship with turnover intention, and that in EDCH, most of the employee turnover is controllable and with regard to the turnover intention, the controllable factors explain more than the uncontrollable factors. 2006 Thesis https://eprints.ums.edu.my/id/eprint/9088/ https://eprints.ums.edu.my/id/eprint/9088/1/mt0000000347.pdf text en public masters University Malaysia Sabah School of Business and Economics
