English (OpenAlex)

The target of the study is to determine the effects of job demands and job resources on employees’ subjective well-being and their turnover intentions, and to evaluate the implications of these interactions in terms of workplace dynamics. The research was conducted through a survey of 350 participants working in medium-sized businesses in the food sector in the city center of Kayseri. The data in the research were evaluated and the results determined using normality tests, descriptive statistical analyses, confirmatory factor analyses, correlation and regression analyses performed with SPSS 25 and Amos software. The study revealed that job demands and job resources positively influence employees' subjective well-being and intention to leave. While these results, particularly regarding the positive effect of job demands on subjective well-being and intention to leave, differ from studies in the literature, the positive effect of job resources is similar to other studies. The study also found that subjective well-being negatively affects the intention to leave the job.
