Turnover Intention Among Muslim Workers: Gratitude as a Predictor

Abstract

Turnover intention is one of the hot issues that occur among workers. The study aims to determine the effect of gratitude on turnover intention among Muslim workers at IAIN Langsa, Aceh, Indonesia. This quantitative approach involved 131 respondents (men = 56%, women = 43%) aged 28-48 years selected through random sampling techniques. After data was collected using questionnaires containing questions related to demographic information, the Gratitude Scale, and the Intention Turnover Scale, the data were analyzed using simple linear regression. The results showed that gratitude positively affects turnover intention (R² =.308, p<.001). This study confirms that a spiritual approach can prevent people’s tendency to resign by increasing gratitude.
