    (2025) Muhammad Aman Hashmi; Hassan Shaukat
    This study investigates the critical issue of employee turnover within Pakistan's aviation sector focusing on five key variables job satisfaction job stress work-life balance external career growth opportunities and organizational commitment. High employee turnover poses significant challenges to the aviation industry including operational disruptions increased costs and compromised safety standards. Through a positivist research philosophy and a deductive approach this study employs a quantitative methodology to examine the relationships among these variables and their collective impact on turnover intentions. Data were collected using structured surveys distributed to more than 430 respondents in Lahore from whom 320 responses were obtained as well as 140 respondents from online google forums were obtained, out of all the responses only the first 430 respondents were used for the analysis of this study taken from employees from various roles within the aviation sector including pilots cabin crew ground staff and administrative personnel these were the employees of airlines general aviation and employees of PCAA. The findings reveal that job stress driven by demanding schedules safety critical responsibilities and tight deadlines is a significant predictor of turnover intentions. Limited career growth opportunities further exacerbate this issue particularly in roles with restricted upward mobility. Conversely job satisfaction and work-life balance are shown to mitigate turnover intentions with flexible scheduling and supportive organizational policies contributing to employee retention. Organizational commitment emerges as a key moderating factor fostering loyalty and reducing attrition even in high-stress environments. Employees who perceive their organizations as supportive equitable and committed to professional development are more likely to remain despite challenging work conditions. This study also highlights the interconnected nature of these variables. Addressing these variables holistically can significantly enhance employee retention and operational stability in the aviation sector. The research contributes to the academic literature by providing empirical insights into the unique turnover dynamics of the aviation industry in Pakistan. It offers recommendations for aviation organizations including the implementation of stress management programs career development initiatives and policies that promote work-life balance. By prioritizing employee wellbeing and aligning organizational practices with workforce expectations aviation companies can reduce turnover rates improve workforce stability and maintain a competitive edge in this high-pressure industry.
