Abstract EN
This study aimed at investigating the effect of occupational health and safety (OHS) on employee’s turnover intention (TI) with the mediating effect of organizational commitment (OC) in the Ghanaian power industry.
Methods.
With stratified sampling technique, 350 participants were selected to participate in the study with standardized quantitative questionnaires to measure the variables involved in the study and SmartPLS 3-structural equation modeling technique to analyze the data.
Results.
The results showed that (1) occupational health and safety and turnover intention are negatively related (β = 0.245, p<0.05); (2) there exists a positive relationship between occupational health and safety and organizational commitment (β = 0.820, p<0.05); (3) organizational commitment and turnover intention are negatively related (β = 0.640, p<0.05); and (4) organizational commitment significantly mediates the relationship between occupational health and safety and turnover intention (indirect effect = −0.53 and direct effect = −0.25, p<0.05).
Conclusion.
Employees satisfied with the health and safety system of their organization tend to be committed to their organization and have low turnover intention, and vice versa.
