Abstract

Understanding the influence of personal factors on turnover intention is the key to retaining human resources in an organization and achieving the organizational objective and performance. The issue has been seen as a problem that needs to be addressed, as the turnover intention will impact the remaining employees' workflow and increase workload. Therefore, this research aims to study the factors of personality traits and emotion regulation that influence turnover intention among employees. This is a quantitative study that uses a questionnaire to conduct research in the form of a survey that consists of the Turnover Intention Scale (TIS), Big Five Inventory-10 (BFI-10) and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) to the subject of the research. This study will involve 244 employees, and the data will be analyzed through correlation tests and multiple regression tests using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. The outcome of the research is that there is a positive relationship between turnover intentions and personality traits. Furthermore, there has also been a positive relationship between turnover intention and emotion regulation.
