Relationship between job satisfaction and voluntary turnover intention in the manufacturing industry for sustainable growth: A systematic review

Abstract

In today's workplaces, employee turnover rates are increasing. Modern organizations face many challenges because of the rising rates of voluntary turnover. In Malaysia, a developing nation, the manufacturing industry needs efficient growth, making a strong workforce essential. Recently, the manufacturing sector in Malaysia has seen the highest voluntary turnover rates among all industries in the country. This study aims to explore the link between job satisfaction and voluntary turnover intentions and to analyze the factors that affect this relationship. A unique aspect of this study is the use of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) methodology to collect and evaluate research on voluntary turnover intention and job satisfaction. The study finds that job satisfaction significantly influences the likelihood of voluntarily leaving a current job.
