This study's aim is to examine the relationship among job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover intention of employees. A model of job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover intention is developed and tested in one field study. In this study, using a 250 employees of a Turkish manufacturing company, were given questionnaires to complete during regular working hours; 188 completed questionnaires were returned.. Job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover intention are popular topics in the study of work related attitudes. The main objective of this article is to test the relationships among job satisfaction, organizational commitment and turnover intention. Structural equation modeling to test research hypotheses is used and the model that has high reliability and validity is developed. The results indicate that job satisfaction is one of the most antecedents of organizational commitment and turnover intention and suggest that high levels of job satisfaction results in higher commitment and lower turnover intention so job satisfaction positively influences on affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment while it is negatively impact on turnover intention. The results emphasize the need to consider the factors can be having effects on the relationship by highlighting to studies conducted on job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover intention.

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of transformational leadership (TL) on employees' individual performance (IP) through the mediating role of affective commitment (AC). More specifically, it aims to understand how (a) TL relates to employees' AC, (b) TL relates to employees' IP, (c) employees' AC relates to IP and (d) employees' AC mediates the relationship between TL and employees' IP. Design/methodology/approach-Four hundred and seventy-six Turkish healthcare professionals participated in this study. The mediation effect of AC in the relationship between TL and employees' IP was tested by Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Findings-The results indicate that AC mediates the relationship between TL and employees' IP. In others words, transformational leaders promote employees' AC which, in turn, increases their IP. Practical implications-This study suggests that organizations should select, develop and invest in leaders who adopt a TL style because they build a climate of admiration, loyalty, respect, participation and involvement for employees which will in turn enhance their commitment and performance. Originality/value-This study responds to calls for researches to explore the mediating mechanism in the TL process (Judge et al., 2006), as the mediation effects explain the conditions in which TL is related to the favorable outcomes.

The purpose of this research paper is to explain the impact of transformational leadership on employees’ turnover intentions in light of the mediating role of their individual performance. More precisely, we attempt to explain (a) how TL connects to employees’ turnover intentions, (b) how TL connects to employee performance, (c) how employee performance connects to turnover intentions, and (d) how employee performance mediates the connection between intentions and TL. Four hundred and seventy-eight Turkish healthcare professionals participated in this research. The results revealed that employee performance mediates the connection between turnover intentions and TL. In other words, transformational leaders encourage employee performance, which in turn decreases their turnover intentions. This research has important implications for reducing turnover in workplaces and increasing employee performance by facilitating a setting for high performance, since employees who are supported by their leaders are generally more committed to their organizations and exhibit better performance. This research answers calls to study the mediating function of the TL procedure, since the mediation clarifies the circumstances under which TL relates to the favorable results.
