This cross-sectional quantitative study assesses the factors affecting employee turnover intentions among construction workers in Zambia. The data is collected from a representative sample of 454 construction workers working along the rail line in the Copperbelt, Central, Lusaka, and Southern Provinces of Zambia. The authors used ordinary least squares regression analysis to assess the determinants of turnover intentions. The predictors in the research are physical engagement, continuous commitment, the position of employees, experience, minimum wage policy perceptions, and job embeddedness. Few existing studies consider job embeddedness, minimum wage policy perceptions, and the construction sector. This is the gap that this research attempts to fill. This research shows that job position, job embeddedness, and continuous commitment influence turnover intentions. The authors found limited influence of minimum wage policy and physical engagement on turnover intentions. The research provides insights into how various factors influence employee turnover intentions. Future studies could use longitudinal data analysis or an experimental design.
