Abstract: Purpose — The aim of this paper is to examine whether antecedents of job satisfaction differ between employees who intend to change their current job and employees who do not want to change their current job. Design/methodology/approach — The study is part of the annual surveying of the retail sector of Auto Milovanovic company from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The sample consisted of 204 respondents who were retail staff, dominantly males (98%) between 31-40 years old (61%), who participated in the survey about employee satisfaction that lasted for two years. In order to provide an answer to the research aim multiple linear regression was conducted. Findings — In the group of employees with high turnover intentions, predictors that significantly predicted job satisfaction were satisfaction with working conditions, salary, and job safety, while the relationship with other employees was a significant predictor of job satisfaction among the employees with low turnover intentions. Originality/value — While most of the studies only indicate the existence of an association between job satisfaction and turnover rates, the current study tries to get a deeper understanding about the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intentions. By exploring antecedents of job satisfaction among two subgroups of employees - those who have high intention to change current work, and employees with low turnover intentions, the study indicates the importance of nurturing good relations between co-workers.
