Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate the influence of job insecurity on the turnover intention among bank employees in Palembang. This descriptive qualitative study employed job insecurity as the independent variable and turnover intention as the dependent variable. The data collection technique was questionnaires, which were distributed to 125 bank employees in the city of Palembang by using a purposive sampling method. The data were then analyzed using SPSS 19.0 for Windows. The results of this study showed that job insecurity has a positive and significant effect on turnover intention. Consequently, the higher the job insecurity is, the higher the intensity (intention or desire) to resign from the job.
