Abstract: This paper investigates job satisfaction and its consequences of intention to quit and job search behaviour in a mediation model. The study was conducted in the telecommunication sector, which is one of the fastest growing business sectors of the country. Employees in the engineering job positions attached to these firms responded. The three-step procedure recommended by Baron and Kenny (1986) was used to test the mediation hypothesis. It was found that intention to quit fully mediates the relationship between job satisfaction and job search behaviour.
