Abstract: A concept that is commonly adopted in corporate settings is 'employee-intention-to-stay'. At the same time, a variety of studies have been conducted on this same concept. While a large number of studies relating to management approaches have concentrated on employees' motivation, very few studies have been undertaken concerning employees' intention to remain in their various companies. Because it is a very significant criterion in deciding a worker's stay in the company, this study, therefore, intends to explore the connection between fit organisation elements and staff's intention to remain in the construction industry, with the organisational commitments as a mediating variable. Also, the approach was structured to concentrate on the study's issues and objectives through quantitative analysis design using a positivist research paradigm. The findings showed a direct correlation between organisational fit elements and the workers' intention-to-stay in their various companies. Organisational commitment fully mediates the relationship that fits the organisation's elements had with the intention-to-stay. Findings suggest that the three components of organisational commitment, as well as workers' intention-to-stay, have a high possibility of making employees to stay in their various organisations.
