abstract: This study examined the impact of social needs of
Generation Y employees towards their intention to stay longer in
organizations. The mediating role of perceived organizational
support was also examined. In this quantitative research, data
was collected using a survey method. The study population were
Generation Y employees in the banking sector in Malaysia.
Random sampling was used to collect data from 470 respondents.
Self-administered questionnaires were delivered by hand.
Structural equation modelling was used to test the relationships.
The findings revealed that Gen Y employees’ social needs were
positively related to their intention to stay. It was found that
perceived organizational support mediated the relationship
between the two constructs. The findings presented new insights
into how Gen Y employees social needs can contribute to
improving their intention to stay in the banking sector. Given the
paucity of research in the context of the role of social needs and
perceived organizational support, this study provides an
understanding to organizations on the influence of social needs
and perceived organizational support in improving retention of
Gen-Y employees. (Abstract by authors)
