Abstract
Employee turnover is one of the critical issues discussed in the organizational studies. This paper examines the effect of work – life balance and job satisfaction on the turnover intentions of doctors. A random sample of 204 (40.8% response rate) medical professionals working in hospitals across Pakistan was considered for the study. Cronbach’s alpha scores confirmed the reliability of the measures used. The results of the cross – sectional study show that the doctors who are better able to manage the work and the life activities are more satisfied with their jobs and have less intentions to leave their jobs. Data was processed by using SPSS, t- test, Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to analyse the data. The study contributes to the available literature by providing an empirical evidence to prove the relationship and explore the cultural aspect of the said relationship in a developing country. Results were discussed in the light of available literature.
