Description
Summary:In Malaysia, addressing employee turnover intentions is crucial for fostering a positive work environment within organizations. Typically, employees leave an organization when they experience job dissatisfaction related to factors such as job assignments, salary, rewards, and other conditions. The scarcity of research in the Malaysian context, combined with a limited understanding of turnover intentions, job satisfaction, and leadership styles, affects the Malaysian manufacturing industry and can hinder organizational success. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine the relationship between leadership style, job satisfaction, and turnover intention within Malaysia's manufacturing sector. The study's population consists of 120 workers from the manufacturing industry in Malaysia, with data collected electronically via Google Forms, distributed through social media and email. The data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 29, employing various methodologies such as descriptive analysis, and Pearson correlation. The findings of this study reveal a significant negative relationship between employee turnover intention and factors such as job satisfaction, transformational leadership style, and transactional leadership style
