Abstract: The purpose of this study is to analyse relationship between employee engagement and turnover intention. It further attempts to understand the role of employee empowerment as a moderator in the employee engagement and turnover intention relationship. 274 data were collected from the respondents belonging to private sector bank managers across Delhi/NCR of India. Techniques like exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used to validate the dimensions under study. Structural equation modelling and regression analysis were further used to assess the moderating impact of employee empowerment on employee engagement-turnover intentions relationship. An inverse relationship between empowerment and turnover intentions was found and no relationship between engagement and turnover intentions was determined by the results. Furthermore, employee empowerment did not have a moderating effect of employee engagement-turnover intentions. The result derived from the present study accentuates the significance of empowering employees which leads to better engagement.
