Abstract

This research examines the relationship between employee engagement, turnover intention and total rewards among permanent and temporary employees.

In the modern workplace, organisations are relying on temporary employees to support businesses in times of growth. However, existing research focuses heavily on permanent workers and temporary workers individually but is lacking in offering a comparison of both employment categories in a single study. Therefore, this research aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of factors impacting employee engagement and turnover intention of both employment categories.

A quantitative research design was used, utilising data from an online survey of over 80 participants in Ireland. The preliminary findings suggest that employee category impacts the relationship between engagement and turnover intention.
