Quality of Work Life and Turnover Intention: Predictive effect of Quality of Work Life Dimensions on Turnover Intention

Quality of Work Life (QWL) is a fundamental area in an organizational context due to the importance it assumes in satisfying the objectives and needs of organizations and their workers. This article seeks to deepen knowledge about the different dimensions that make up QWL and their relationship with turnover intentions. Measures of Quality of Work Life and Turnover Intention were applied to a sample of 473 employed adults. The results show that the dimensions related to employment and career are those that best explain turnover intentions, also proving a negative relationship between the frequency of QWL and turnover intentions. The main limitations of the study are discussed and presented suggestions for future investigations. Implications for the development of human resources management practices aimed at promoting QWL in organizations are examined.
