This study developed hypothesis based on past research conducted and the hypothesis was tested to examine the relationship between predictors and the dependent variables. Using one analysis, i.e. Correlation analysis was conducted to ascertain the hypothesis and findings from the analysis revealed a weak positive but reverse significant relationship between predictors and dependent variable. Findings explained that both organisational justice and employees' engagement demonstrated a low significant relationship towards turnover intention. Interestingly, this study found a reversed relationship between predictors and dependant variable. One unit increase in organisational justice resulted in one unit decrease in turnover intention and one unit increase in employee engagement also resulted in one unit decrease in turnover intention.
