Abstract

Employee turnover intentions have emerged as a significant research topic in social sciences as well as a challenge for corporates in Indian settings in past decade. This article presents a systematic literature review of employee turnover intention in India, providing an in-depth analysis of 198 empirical research articles on employee turnover intentions in Indian cultural settings published between 2010 to October 2022 in 126 academic journals listed in Scopus and Web of Sciences and proposes a heuristic model of turnover intention. The study reveals: 53 distinctive correlates of turnover intention which have been grouped into nine broad categories; research being conducted on a few antecedents of turnover intention in isolated pieces without taking a comprehensive approach; lack of attention to testing recent turnover models in Indian settings; too much preference on turnover intention as a proxy for actual turnover. The proposed model was tested on 481 respondents belonging to various industries across service sector in India employing Smart PLS software for validating path analysis provided encouraging results. Taking a note of trends and rifts, this article presents an inclusive approach along with suggestions and recommendations for future employee turnover intention research in India.
