Abstract
Ever changing workforce had even shackled the thoughts of policy makers in the public
sector. Due to depleting resources and consequent economic pressure, the Human
Resources gained the status of key resource in the success or otherwise of any
organization. Medical practitioners in the public sector hospitals in Pakistanfaced
perturbed situations, so did the ailing people. Employee engagement was thought to be on
of the solution initiatives. Turnover intention had variously been studied with many
variables; to relate this concept with employee engagement was a unique brain wave. The
study explored the impact of engagement on turnover as well as the moderating effect of
work experience on both of the above variables was assessed. Primary data was collected
through paper survey from the medical practitioners working in public sector hospitals
located at Lahore (n=305). The hypothesis were deduced which were tested through
simple regression and correlation analysis. The results of this non experimental study had
shown a significant relationship between the variables under study. Work experience had
been found to have no significant moderating effect on the other variables.
