ABSTRACT:
By use of multiple logistic regression
analysis of the questionnaire data of 465 knowledge-based staff in the culture
industry of a province in the Western China, the author has found that the
three main factors related to job satisfaction and the turnover intention are
not simply negatively correlative, which differs from the former classical
studies of relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention. This
research has discovered that 1) the factor of career development satisfaction
is not predictable on the turnover intention probability; 2) the turnover
intention of the knowledge-based staff who have low satisfaction with the job
itself is not higher than those who have high satisfaction with their jobs; 3)
the turnover intention of the staff with low pay satisfaction is lower than
those with high pay satisfaction, that is, the knowledge-based employees with
higher pay satisfaction have correspondingly higher probability of turnover
intention, compared with those with lower pay satisfaction; 4) such
covariates as gender, age, educational background, professional title, income
level, position, working years, the number of previous work units being
considered, all mentioned demographic characteristics above but the
income level have no significant influence on turnover intention; the employees
with low income levels are more unwilling to leave than those with higher
monthly income level.
