Work Pressure, Organizational Politics, and Employee Turnover: Evidence from Pakistan’s Telecom Sector

Abstract

Employee turnover in the telecom sector has been significantly influenced by non-financial factors such as work pressure and organizational politics. This study explores the relationship between these factors and turnover intentions among employees of Jazz, Ufone, Zong, and Telenor in Pakistan. Using a quantitative survey of 200 employees, the study applies descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis to examine the strength and direction of relationships. Results indicate that both work pressure and organizational politics are significantly associated with turnover intentions. The paper concludes with strategies to manage organizational politics and reduce employee stress to improve retention.
