The present research, in terms of practical purpose, the method of collecting data is survey data and considering the relationship between variables, correlation with emphasis on structural equation modeling. The results of testing hypotheses using SPSS and Smart-PLS3 softwares indicate that perceived job insecurity has a positive effect on employees' turnover intention.
