Abstract

This research aims to determine effects of career growth on turnover intentions and the mediating roles of employee engagement (job and organizational engagement). When employees feel satisfied with career growth in their organization, they will feel more engaged and by then it also reduce turnover intentions. Using accidental sampling methods. Empirical data was collected using questionnaires distributed online. With a total of 105 subjects born between 1980 - 2000 spread around Indonesia, which has worked in the industrial sector for more than six months. As for the measurement instruments, this study uses the career growth scale by Weng and Hu (2009), employee engagement by Saks (2006), and turnover intention scale by Mobley et al., (1979). Using multiple regression analysis to analyze the influence of these variables and test the mediation of employee engagement variables. Result of this study shows that career growth significantly influences turnover intention without mediation of employee engagement, neither it is job nor organizational engagement. Explanations of why employee engagement does not mediate influence of career growth on turnover intention as well as research finding implication are discussed to provide knowledge in keeping the generation Y employees to stay in organization.
