Impact of Social Support, Emotional Intelligence on Work Turnover Intention: A Cross-Sectional Study among Employees

Social support in the working environment could be considered as one of the significant elements influencing laborers in different aspects of their work, such as work fulfillment, efficiency, and prosperity. As the literature indicates, social support in an organization comes from supervisors or colleagues. Another finding of the research is that emotional intelligence has an impact on employees’ attitude, level of commitment, and on several job outcomes. The expected result is a significant negative association between supervisor support, co-worker support, emotional intelligence and turnover intentions. This study will contribute to the existing body of knowledge in the UAE and would be crucial in exploring social support and emotional intelligence related to turnover intention among employees of governmental and private universities.
