Abstract: Drawing on leadership theory and social exchange theory, the study investigated the role of Perceived Supervisor Support (PSS), Job Satisfaction (JS) and Affective Organizational Behavior (AOC) on Employee Turnover Intention (ETI) among teachers in Ras-Al-Khaimah educational sector, UAE. The current study adopted SEM to test the study's hypothesis. A sample of 494 employees in the UAE educational sector was selected randomly. In this representative sample, a survey was carried out to find out the extent of PSS, JS and AOC influence on ETI. All the study's hypothesis were supported. PSS is significantly predicting JS, JS is significantly predicting AOC and AOC is significantly predicting employee turnover intention. As well as JS and AOC are significantly predicting employee turnover intention. The proposed model explained 40.6% of the variance in employee turnover intention. Finally, theoretical and managerial implications were discussed.
