Abstract: Employees' turnover is deemed as crucial issue within the organisations as it leads towards negative consequences. Previous studies almost ignored the prompt factors that can tackle the employees' turnover issue within knowledge intensive sector. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the role of organisational socialisation tactics and task characteristics towards employees' turnover intentions by concentrating the mediating role of job embeddedness. Data have been collected through survey questionnaire method by applying simple random sampling technique. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structure equation modelling (SEM) techniques have been used for statistical analysis. Results divulged that Organisational Socialisation Tactics and task characteristics significantly and negatively related to employees' turnover intentions. Findings also revealed that job embeddedness significantly and partially mediates the relationship between Organisational Socialisation Tactics, task characteristics and turnover intentions. This study gives insight understanding regarding the crucial factors that leads to reduce turnover intentions.
