ostracized behavior that develops among employees and ultimately leads towards Employee
Turnover Intention. The mediating role of job satisfaction is tested specific in this relationship

industry. The results obtained in this study are consistent with our hypothesis that ostracized
behavior is interlinked with employee turnover intention rate. Employees undergoing ostracism
