Year 2017, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 63 - 77, 07.02.2018

Abstract

The main aim of this study is to analyze the
relationship between emotional intelligence and turnover intention and to
determine the mediating role of perception of politics in this relationship. AMOS 22 was used for testing model with structural equation modeling. The
results indicate that all dimensions of emotional intelligence except “Use of
emotion” was negatively and significantly related to turnover intention and
perception of politics. The positive relation between perception of politics and
turnover intention was also significant. Besides, it was found that perception
of politics mediates the relationship between emotional intelligence and turnover
intention.



Keywords: Emotional Intelligence, Turnover Intention, Perception of Politics,
