The sample group consisted of 300 Generation Y full-time office employees working in private companies in the EEC. The sample size was determined using power analysis and a two-stage sampling method. In terms of data, it was collected through a questionnaire. The statistical methods were used included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and multiple regression analysis.
The results revealed that Generation Y employees in private companies within the EEC exhibited a moderate level of intention to quit and overall job satisfaction, as well as a high level of organizational commitment. Furthermore, the study found that organizational commitment, job satisfaction, income, and family burden significantly affected the intention to quit among these employees.
