Abstract
The aim of this study was to test a model consisting of turnover intention as dependent variable, four dimensions of pay satisfaction as independent variables, with job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and work motivation as mediators. The participants of this study were 273 employees of NISOC in Ahvaz, who were selected by stratified random sampling method. The instruments used in this study were Turnover Intention Scale, Job Satisfaction, Scale, Work Motivation Scale, Pay Satisfaction Questionnaire and Organizational Commitment Questionnaire. The fitness of the proposed model was examined through structural equation modeling (SEM). The indirect effects were tested by using bootstrap procedure. The findings indicated that the proposed model fitted the data. Better fit was obtained by omitting 3 non-significant paths and using AMOS modification indices. In addition, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and work motivation mediated the relationships between four dimensions of pay satisfaction and turnover intention.
