Security officers' intent to leave their job would have devastating effects on
national security related industries. That is because excessive turnover would
result in wasting the money for recruiting and training for organizations as
well as putting the level of national security at risk. Therefore, this study has
a goal to investigate the factors influencing the intent of leave job among
security staff working for one of public institution, airports(n=198).
Specifically, this study has a focus on examining the effect of job satisfaction,
job commitment and security staff's level of commitment on national security
on their turnover intent. The results of the multivariate ordinary lest square
regression analysis reveal that job satisfaction, job commitment, and the level
of national security commitment directly influence turnover intent. Also, the
job satisfaction and the level of national security commitment has indirect
impact on the turnover intent via job commitment. However, the results
indicate that gender, age, and educational level are not related with security
staff's decision to leave their job. Policy implications and study contribution
were discussed in this study.
