Abstract :
Purpose -The paper is primarily conducted to quantify the effect of job satisfaction and attitudes toward money on voluntary turnover. Design/Methodology/Approach -A survey method was used to gather 140 usable questionnaires from employees who have worked in a city based local authority in Sabah, Malaysia. Findings -Outcomes of hierarchical regression analysis showed two important findings: firstly, interaction between intrinsic job satisfaction and attitudes toward money significantly correlated with voluntary turnover. Secondly, interaction between extrinsic job satisfaction and att itudes toward money signifi cantly correlated with voluntary turnover. These results show that the inclusion of attitudes toward money in the analysis has motivated intrinsic job satisfiers to decrease their intentions to leave organization, but had not motivated extrinsic job satisfiers to decrease their intentions to leave organization. Originality/Value - The paper confirms that attitudes toward money act as a partial moderating variable in the job satisfaction model of the studied organization.
