Perceived organisational support, organisational commitment and turnover intentions amongst employees in a selected company in the cash industry
Abstract
Globally and in South Africa turnover has been identified as a major challenge in organisations.
An examination of the literature revealed that perceived organisational support (POS) and
organisational commitment can significantly influence an employee’s turnover intention. The
literature also showed that when employees perceive that they are being supported by their
employers they reciprocate positively and commit to organisational imperatives because they
feel appreciated. As a result, organisational efficiency and employee performance is enhanced
and turnover is decreased.
