Abstract
This study aims to investigate the determinants of turnover intention among company managers in Indonesia. Based on the literature, this research hypothesizes that job satisfaction is a mediator in the relationship between compensation, career and turnover intention of companies in Indonesia. Respondents as research samples are grouped into middle managers from two industries, namely, manufacturing and services. A total of 215 questionnaires were returned from middle managers. Data analysis used Structural Equation Model - Linear Structural Relationship (SEM LISREL). The research results prove that compensation and career have a positive effect on job satisfaction. Compensation, career, and job satisfaction have a negative impact on turnover intention. Compensation is known to be one of the motivating drivers of workers around the world. From this study it can be said that, if middle manager teachers are well compensated, they will be encouraged, persuaded and will have positive feelings toward their work, and this will result in staying put. It works also with career and job satisfaction. If both variables are considered carefully, intention to move tends to be low. These findings provide new insights into the field of international human resources in developing multinational companies and service businesses.
