Abstract: Omnipresent, but invisible to the eyes, organizational culture “molds” an organization, holds it together, and signals to its employees, as well as outsiders, what values the organization promotes and protects. This research aimed to empirically verify whether referenced organizational creation impacts some of the most important attitudes/behaviors personnel uphold, finding the crux and potential contribution path for preventing eventual adverse outcomes. Following the presented aim, job satisfaction and employee turnover intention were incorporated into the model as critical dependent variables. Drawing from a sample of 100 millennial generation members, the research employed the latest statistical tools SmartPLS and IBM SPSS Statistics for data modeling and computation. The study “took a pulse” of the largest national organizations’ workforce cohort at the dawn of 2024. Through a rich blend of an extensive literature review, thematic and desk analysis, as well as Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) procedure, the research validated the primary premise proposing that there exists a full mediating effect of job satisfaction in the organizational culture–turnover intention relation.
Keywords: organizational culture; turnover intention; job satisfaction; SmartPLS; PLS-SEM; disjoint two-stage approach
