A three item, five point Likert scale was used to measure employee turnover intention, the dependent variable. The responses ranged from 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree. Each item asked the respondents to indicate the degree of occurrence of thought of quitting, searching for another job, and actually intending to quit. This scale has been used by other related studies (e.g., Nadiri & Tanova 2009, Seston, et al. 2009).
