| 總結: | The present study looks into the issue of intention to stay among pilots in the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF). Intention to stay is an inverse concept of turnover intention. The psychological effect that requires pilot to serve the organisation over a period of time willingly or by compulsion is the precursor of this study. Taking insight from the positivity approach, the researcher examined the relationship between psychological capital and intention to stay, through work engagement and work happiness as mediators. The data was obtained from 364 pilots working in various RMAF units for a cross sectional approach. The hypotheses were tested using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The results underscore the role of work engagement and work happiness as mediator between psychological capital and intention to stay. The results also highlight work happiness is a better intervening mechanism for psychological capital of pilots in explaining their intention to stay. Finally, limitations of the study, theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
