Abstract: Human resource managers often seek to identify the factors that drive employees' intentions to leave or remain with an organization, with job satisfaction and tenure being prominent considerations. This study synthesizes statistical research on how tenure and job satisfaction influence an employee's likelihood of resigning. In this article, previous empirical studies that have explored job satisfaction and tenure as predictors of turnover intentions been reviewed and summarized. Prior to conducting the analysis, it was hypothesized that tenure would serve as a stronger predictor of turnover intentions. However, the findings of this study reveal that job satisfaction is a significantly more robust predictor of turnover intentions than tenure. These results provide valuable insights for human resource managers, offering guidance on strategies to reduce turnover intentions and understanding the broader organizational impact of such reductions. The article concludes with practical implications of these findings and provides recommendations for human resource management practices.
