This study aims to examine the relationship of perceived organisational support, workplace spirituality and work
engagement with turnover intentions. The study samples (N=397) were drawn from the population of Information
Technology (IT) professionals working in IT companies in the Delhi-NCR region, using a purposive sampling
technique. Questionnaire-based survey was conducted using Survey of Perceived Organisational Support (SPOS),
The Spirit at Work Scale (SAWS), Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) and Turnover Intentions Scale. For
testing the conceptual model, structural equation modelling was utilised. PLS-SEM results reveal the existence of
negative significant relationship amongst work engagement and turnover intentions. However, there is no causal
relationship of perceived organisational support and workplace spirituality with turnover intentions. The findings
indicate that organisations should provide meaningful work that could help in improving the retention of employees
by reducing their turnover intentions.
