Employee turnover research had been a priority for most industry captains and HR practitioners. With the business environment becoming more competitive, employees in today’s organizations are hard to be lured only by attractive compensation and benefit package offers. Recent research had indicated the growing importance of more and more contextual antecedent factors influencing employee intention to stay in organizations. Prior literature had supported the finding that employees were giving priorities to more and more contextual issues as compared to organizational and psychological factors influencing their intention to stay. Out of the contextual issues there is hardly any research done exclusively on the role of social factors (antecedents) like supervisor support, coworker support and group cohesiveness on employee intention to stay. Taking this as a research gap an attempt has been made in the present study considering the response of 300 (Middle level Operations) employees working in the Information Technology companies based in the NCR of Delhi. The data collected from the respondents were fed for structural equation modelling (SEM) using AMOS 20. The study came out with an empirical model depicting the interrelationship between supervisor support, group cohesiveness and employee intention to stay. Although supervisor support and coworker support had significant interrelationships with employee intention to stay, the empirical model depicts that supervisor support played an important role mediating group cohesiveness and employee intention to stay.
