چکیده:
The effectiveness and efficiency of any organization is dependent on the empowerment of its human resources as well as the presence of an ethical climate and organizational support. Hence, this article aims to analyze the impact of employee empowerment, ethical climate, and perceived organizational support on employee turnover intention directly and indirectly with the mediating role of job satisfaction. The data related to a sample of 215 employees of one of the biggest universities in Mashhad, Iran, was obtained using a questionnaire, which was then analyzed by Warp PLS 4. Results show that job satisfaction has a negative effect on turnover intention. Moreover, the positive effect of employee empowerment, ethical climate, and perceived organizational support on job satisfaction and the negative effect of ethical climate and perceived organizational support on turnover intention are supported. Results also support the point that job satisfaction mediates the effect of ethical context and perceived organizational support on turnover intention. The current study contributes to the present organizational literature on the social exchange theory and human resource outcomes. Guidelines are provided to the managers on how to address job satisfaction and turnover intension.

Empowerment, Ethical climate, Organizational support, Job satisfaction, Turnover intention Introduction The current development in the business settings leads to talent scarcity due to the decreasing supply of quality workers and the aging of the employees.
Accordingly, the effect of three work-related factors – including ethical climate, organizational support, and employee empowerment – on employees’ job satisfaction and turnover intention is investigated in the current study.
Significance of the Study The present research examines the effect of employee empowerment, ethical climate, and organizational support on job satisfaction and turnover intention and the ensuing implications for the universities in Iran.
This survey intends to make the top management understand the importance of employee empowerment, ethical climate, and organizational support as a means of enhancing job satisfaction and decreasing the employees’ turnover intention.
However, the present study will enrich the present literature as it combines the effect of employee empowerment, ethical climate, and organizational support on the job satisfaction and turnover intention.
Therefore, to address this research gap, the current paper aims to investigate the effect of employee empowerment, ethical climate, and organizational support on job satisfaction and turnover intention among the staff of one of the prestigious universities in Mashhad, Iran.
Hypotheses Testing This study intended to propose and test a research model (Figure 1) that evaluated the relationship between employee empowerment (EE), perceived organizational support (POS), ethical climate (EC), job satisfaction (JS), and turnover intention (TI).
