Abstract: Employee turnover is a critical issue for organizations because of its associated costs and negative consequences, like losing productivity, decreasing organizations profits, potential loss of valuable knowledge, skills and also intellectual capital. This study aims to examine the main factors that affect employees’ turnover intention in the local companies in Egypt. A model has developed and tested. A quantitative method was followed through a structured questionnaire in order to collect the data from 108 employees representing different local companies in Egypt. Data was analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistical analysis to measure the influence of the independent variables on the dependent variable. A logistic regression test has been used to test the model fit. The results show that there is a negative relationship between organizational commitment and turnover intention and suggest that high levels of organizational commitment results in lower turnover intention. The results emphasize the need to study more factors which might have a significant impact on turnover intention in the Egyptian context.
