Introduction to the Problem • High turnover rate • Cost • Knowledge • Customers • Taiwanese banking industry
Gaps • Conflicts between different theories and empirical studies • Different countries & cultures • 21st century
Purpose of the Study • To explore the relationship and degrees among those factors • Pay satisfaction’s role • To discover the accurate ratio between pay raise and turnover intention • The conflicts between different theories and results of empirical studies
Definition of Terms • Pay Satisfaction • Job SatisfactionPromotion Supervision Fringe Benefits Contingent Rewards Operating Procedures Coworkers Nature of Work Communication
Definition of Terms (cont.) • Organizational CommitmentAffective Commitment Continuance Commitment Normative Commitment • Turnover Intention • Domestic Private Bank • Entry-Level Employee • Mid-Management
Justification • Global interest • Taiwanese banking industry • Different from previous studies • Researchable • Feasible
Delimitations and Scope • The relationship between turnover intention and actual departure • Entry-level employees and mid-management • Private banks • May not be applicable to other countries and industries
Delimitations and Scope (cont.) • The study did not take into account any unpredictable internal and external factors
Literature Review • Theoretical Framework & 2 Research Questions • Hypothesized Models & 24 Hypotheses
Theoretical Framework • Turnover theory (Steers & Mowday, 1981) • Model of Pay Satisfaction (Lum, Kervin, Clark, Reid, and Sirola, 1998) • Job satisfaction theory (Spector, 1997) • The three-component model of organizational commitment (Allen & Meyer, 1991)

Research Questions • What are the socio-demographic characteristics of a sample of employees in the Taiwanese banking industry? • What are the degrees of pay satisfaction, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover intention of a sample of employees in the Taiwanese banking industry?
Hypothesized Models • Pay satisfaction, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover intention model • Pay satisfaction’s sub-variables and turnover intention model • Organizational commitment’s sub-variables and turnover intention model
