Abstract

This study investigated the impact of perceive organizational support and occupational stress on turnover intentions among selected bank employees in Owerri. Two hypotheses were postulated and tested. One hundred bank employees were selected through convenient sampling. Their ages ranged from 21-52 years with a mean age of 36.5. The researcher administered these instruments: perceived organizational support scale, occupational stress scale and turnover intention questionnaire. The cross sectional survey design was adopted and the 2-Way Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze data collected. Results showed that perceived organizational support and occupational stress did not have any influence on turnover intentions among bank employees in Owerri. Employees should concentrate on working hard in their jobs other than concentrating on the amount of support and evaluating the stress they get and face in the company as these do not influence turnover intentions. More so, organizations no matter the circumstance must continue to try their best in enhancing conducive work environment for the workers.
