Abstract
Using a cross-sectional, quantitative research design, the current thesis examines how Perceived Supervisor Support relates to turnover intention, and whether the proposed relationship is mediated by the basic psychological needs autonomy, competence and relatedness. The research is contextualized within remote work environments, using only data from employees with the opportunity to work from home. The findings support our first hypothesis, demonstrating that Perceived Supervisor Support has a significant negative relationship with turnover intention. Moreover, the study reveals that both autonomy and relatedness partially mediate this relationship, whereas competence did not yield significant results.
We have discussed the implications and limitations of the study and provided suggestions for future research directions.
