Antecedents and consequences on employee turnover intention in the hospitality industry in Lebanon by Baajour, Maya

“…H1 (There is an indirect relationship between PAT and Turnover) showed a significant result that when training is available employees’ intention to leave decreases. As for H2 (AC mediates the relationship between PAT and Turnover) it was supported as AC highly mediated the relationship between these two variables; it showed then when training is available, employees tend to be more committed to their organization and their intention to leave decreased. …”
