Compliance practices in organizations play a vital role because it sets the boundary not only for the employees and workers but also for the organization to comply with the laws, rules, and regulations. It ensures the employee’s rights making them loyal to the organization. Consequently, the present study aims at investigating the relationship between compliance practices and employee turnover intention within the context of the jute industry in Bangladesh. Furthermore, the study examines the moderating effect of employee commitment on the relationship between compliance practices and turnover intention. This study is quantitative in nature. Four hundred (400) jute industry workers from Khulna city, Bangladesh participated in the study. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data from the workers. Correlation moderated regression analysis, and an independent sample t-test was used to test the study hypotheses. The study results show a negative relationship between compliance practices and employee turnover intention. However, a highly significant difference has been found between the male and female workers’ attitudes toward turnover intention implying that the female workers are more likely to leave the organization than the male. The results of the study are very significant and thus applicable to HR professionals, policymakers, and decision-makers in the jute industry.
