3.4.1.3 Turnover Intent<br />

Employees’ turnover intention was measured using the 3-item scale developed by Hom<br />

and Griffeth (1991). The negative item wordings were changed to positive to maintain<br />

consistency. This measure is found to have high reliability score. For example, Kim et<br />

al. (2010a) in a study on relationship between LMX and turnover intentions among<br />

hospitality employees used this type of measure and had a reliability score of 0.87.<br />

Each item was arranged in a 7-point Likert scale format. The measure had a reliability<br />

score of 0.89 for the current study. All measurement items included in this scale are<br />

presented in Table 3.<br />
