Abstract

This empirical research focuses on examining the impact of psychological distress and work-life conflict on employee turnover intentions in the IT Sector. This study aims to analyse the influence of work-family conflict or family-work conflict on employees’ departure intentions. The present research extensively reviews the existing literature using these variables, such as Psychological Distress, Work-Life Conflict, Work-Family Conflict, FamilyWork Conflict, and Employee Departure Intention. The primary findings highlight how work-life conflict, along with psychological distress, can prompt an individual to depart and change their roles immediately. Additionally, Mindfulness plays a significant role as a moderator in focusing on an individual and helps them stay with the organisation. The study concludes while reinforcing the role that Mindfulness plays in securing employees’ jobs
