Abstract

This study aims to examine the determinants of turnover intention among civil engineers in Klang Valley. Civil engineering is an important profession in the construction sector for its powerful role in economic growth, yet the construction industry is experiencing high turnover rates. In spite of that, there is a lack of research examining the determinants of turnover intention among civil engineers. Based on the literature, this research hypothesizes that job stress, compensation satisfaction and technology-infused work environment are possible factors leading to intention to leave. This study employed a quantitative research design study, sampling a total of 92 civil engineers from Klang Valley. A web-based survey was administered and data was analysed using SPSS (v26). Overall, the findings of this study found that job stress and technology-infused work environment does impact the employee’s intention to leave. However, this is not the case for compensation satisfaction, where this study reported that compensation has no impact on turnover intention. Thus, compensation is not the sole factor when engineers decide to stay or leave. These findings provide insights into the field of developing more refined human capital policies in the construction industries. The implications and limitations of this study are discussed.
