Abstract
China’s high-tech industry was used as a case study to find the factors influencing employee turnover intention. For this research, the primary focus was the effects of transformational leadership and its relationship with organizational identification and communication satisfaction. The study addressed the growing issue of high turnover rates in the high-tech sector by examining how leadership styles, alignment with organization values, and effective communication contribute to retaining employees.
A mixed-method approach was implemented to combine quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews. The data was then statistically analyzed using SPSS and AMOS. The study applies structural equation modeling, regression analysis, factor analysis, and variance analysis to understand the relationships between transformational leadership, organizational commitment, communication satisfaction, and employee turnover intention. This approach provides a higher degree of understanding of the turnover issue in the high-tech industry.
The results found a positive impact of transformational leadership on reducing turnover intentions by fostering employee loyalty, job satisfaction, personal growth, and a strong sense of belonging. The research also found that organizational identification is vital to retention, as it links alignment with company values and lowers turnover intentions. Communication satisfaction was also crucial because effective internal communication builds trust and a sense of belonging, influencing employees’ decisions to stay with the company.
In conclusion, this study offers practical strategies for managing employee turnover in the high-tech industry and contributes by clarifying how leadership styles, organizational culture, and communication practices affect employee retention.
