The Effect of Job Insecurity on Turnover Intention with Job Satisfaction as an Intervening Variable at PT. Dunia Barusa Banda Aceh
Abstract
The high employee turnover rate at PT. Dunia Barusa Banda Aceh indicates problems with employee stability and job satisfaction. This condition is thought to be related to job insecurity. This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of job insecurity on turnover intention with job satisfaction as an intervening variable. The study used a quantitative method with data collection through a Likert scale questionnaire. The research sample consisted of 106 respondents who were employees of PT. Dunia Barusa Banda Aceh. The data analysis technique used was path analysis at a significance level of 95% (α = 0.05) to test the direct and indirect relationships between variables. The results show that job insecurity has a significant effect on turnover intention and job satisfaction. In addition, job satisfaction also has a significant effect on turnover intention. Other findings show that job insecurity has an indirect effect on turnover intention through job satisfaction as an intervening variable. In conclusion, the higher the level of job insecurity, the higher the employees' desire to leave the company, either directly or through a decrease in job satisfaction. Therefore, companies need to improve employee security and job satisfaction to reduce their intention to leave their jobs.
