The study examined perceived organizational politics, support and work-place incivility of supervisor as predictors of employees’ intention to quit. The results of the regression analyses revealed that perceived organizational politics significantly predicted turnover intention (β = .41, p < .001). Per-ceived politics accounted for 46.8% of the variance in turnover intention, above and beyond the control variables. Perceived organizational support was also found to be negatively related to turnover intention (β = - .69, p < .001), and accounted for additional 31% of the variance in turnover inten-tion. The results of the analyses equally indicated that workplace incivility significantly predicted turnover intention among employees (β = .25, p < .001). And explained additional 3% of the variance in turnover intention above and beyond the control variables, perceived organizational politics, and perceived organizational support. These results were discussed based on existing theories and on the Nigerian socio-economic realities.
