The art of turnover prediction through an employee satisfaction lens: Views of Indonesian millennials in a noticeable search for meaning

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

Tracking survey data from millennial manufacturing employees in Indonesia, the conceptual model proposed concentrates on linking employee satisfaction and turnover intention, by unpacking the causation of employee satisfaction into four strands: competency development, compensation and benefits, work-life balance, and meaningful work. The results showed that every strand boosted satisfaction, except the compensation and benefits strand in this manufacturing case. Compensation and benefits packages should be made malleable enough to let employees self-tailor them to a diverse-enough range of life priorities. Doing so, while investing in their broad-minded learning and development, should get companies closer to supplying meaningful work more regularly.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
